Highland Park’s single-malt Scotch whiskies reflect the rich and layered flavor profiles that Orkney is renowned for by connoisseurs of exceptional spirits. Established in 1798, the distillery has drawn its water from the same spring since its inception, producing a consistently impressive range of outstanding whiskies. Its latest edition, the Highland Park 56 Whisky, stands at the pinnacle of the distillery’s achievements, presenting a highly sought-after, limited-edition whisky with a suitably high price tag. 

Billed as the oldest and rarest whiskey ever created by the brand, it’s a rare opportunity to savor a key moment in the history of one of whisky’s most iconic and revered producers. Presented in a stunning wooden case, the Highland Park 56 Whisky is a highly complex offering with a perfumed aroma and impressive depth. Reflecting the distinctive character of Orkney, it hits the nose with scents of jasmine, cloud honey, sweet raisin, and a waft of delicate peat smoke.

On the palate, the Highland Park 56 Whisky presents a combination of notes including orange peel and citrus, with a blend of spices followed by hints of lapsang souchong tea. For the finish, there’s a subtle yet heady concoction of woody spices and honeyed oak, complemented by heathered peat smoke for added fragrance.

Distilled using specially selected casks, first laid down in 1968, for a unique and original sherry seasoning, the Highland Park 56 Whisky is a fitting tribute. Purchase a bottle through the Inner Circle, and customers can enjoy a bespoke tasting experience with one of the distillery’s whisky experts as a bonus.
