A fresh-faced, zesty whisky with a natural golden amber colour direct from the cask. Spicy but mellow, with subtle smoke on the finish, it\u2019s a great introduction to the unique warmth of Orkney heathered peat\u2014and the convivial spirit of our island home. <\/p>\n
The flavour<\/p>\n
As invigorating as the Orkney breeze. Fresh, clean and floral on the nose, with heathered honey and a touch of citrus. Sweet and spicy on the palate, with toasty notes of burnt orange, jasmine and fruitcake. A long finish with peppery spice, woody notes and orange zest, and the subtle, aromatic kick of smoke that you only get from Orkney heathered peat. <\/p>\n
The craft<\/p>\n
To create the well-rounded character of the 12 year old, we harmonise whiskies matured in hand-selected, first-fill, sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, which together deliver its main flavour profile of spicy-sweetness and mellow warmth. Additional refill casks round out the powerful notes from the first-fill casks, resulting in a classic, versatile whisky that\u2019s always finely balanced.<\/p>\n
The stories<\/p>\n
We first launched Highland Park 12 in the 1970s, as the first whisky in our core range. It\u2019s since become a fixture in the local pubs in Orkney\u2014where it\u2019s now as much a part of daily life as fishing, farming and doing your best to stay upright in our bracing winds. <\/p>\n
Enjoy it with…<\/p>\n
The sweet, spicy roundness of the 12-year-old make it a great pairing with game, spiced biscuits and soft cheeses like French Brie. But it\u2019s also a surprisingly good match for sweet chilli crisps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
