Highland Park Cask Strength Heather Single Malt Scotch

Highland Park Cask Strength Heather Single Malt Scotch

This bold, limited-edition Scotch from the Orkney Islands that serves as the first named installment in the distillery's refreshed cask strength series. Shifting away from their previous numbered-batch system, this special release focuses entirely on amplifying the distillery's unique, floral, heather-laced peat terroir. It is bottled at a powerful 63.6% ABV (127.2 Proof) without chill filtration or artificial coloring. 

• Malt Profile: Crafted with 100% Orkney peat-smoked barley. This makes it significantly peatier and more intensely smoky than Highland Park's standard core lineup.
• Maturation: Matured predominantly in first-fill European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks, balanced out with selected refill casks to preserve texture while smoothing the high-proof heat. 
• Orkney Peat Profile: Unlike the maritime, medicinal, or iodine-heavy peat found in Islay whiskies, the peat from Orkney's Hobbister Moor is rich in local heather roots. This infuses the smoke with a sweeter, more aromatic, and perfumed character.
