Gerry Tosh talks us through the basics of distillation at Highland Park Distillery
The ancient kilns at Highland Park is where we burn the peat to create the smokey flavour into Highland Park
To get the flavour into Highland park we need to burn the aromatic peat from the islands but we also need to burn coke which burns at a higher temperature with no smoke and is used to dry the barley.

Gerry (Whisky Ambassador of the year 2010) walks you through a simple formula for whisky tasting. This is designed for the novice and will hopefully help people experience whisky more fully.
Hjarta is a natural strength 12 year old Highland Park expression available only from the distillery, in our on-line shop and in Scandinavia, limited to approximately 3900 bottles. Orkney has never forgotten its Scandinavian heritage; Hjarta is the ancient Norse word for heart and the whisky has been launched to mark the total refurbishment of our visitor centre, itself a celebration of the rich history of the Islands. The whisky has been created by Max MacFarlane, Whisky Maker, and is bottled at 58.1% ABV.
Highland Park Bicentenary
Gerry Talks about the whisky he picked for the Highland Park Ambassador Cask series
Highland Park 40 year old is not a here today, gone tomorrow single cask we uncovered in the warehouse. Through foresight, we are blessed with stocks of aged whisky. Many other distilleries would love to be in this enviable position. As it is not a single cask, but a vatting of casks each of which is at least 40 years old, the tasting notes are broader in scope. At Highland Park we use a variety of casks; different sizes, different wood and different stages in the life of the cask. This is fundamental as the greatest influence on the final flavour of our whisky comes from the wood used in maturation.
The flagship variant of the Highland Park range was first released in April 2005. By its very nature, this whisky is only available in limited quantities. It is, however, worth seeking out as the ultimate expression of the distillerys character.
First released in 1998, Highland Park 25 Years Old is a phenomenal whisky; it has a rich amber glow and an unmistakable taste of smokiness and heather honey with, as you would expect from Highland Park, a hint of peat. The remarkable complexity of this whisky is due in part to the fact that half of it is matured in first fill Sherry casks. These are very expensive and generally used sparingly in the industry. However, they impart maximum flavour; Highland Park 25 Year Old proves it.
First released as a UK exclusive in 2003, Highland Park 15 Year Old is a fabulously smooth, easy to drink single malt with a luxuriously light floral flavour and a gentle smokey finish.
This variant of Highland Park has been created exclusively for global travel retail and duty free markets. Released in October 2007, Highland Park 21 Year Old is a full flavoured, powerful , sweet single malt with a rich smokey finish.
This variant of Highland Park is exclusively for global travel retail and duty free markets and was first released in October 2005. Highland Park 16 Year Old is gloriously smooth, sweet single malt with an island-infused flavour and a rich smokey finish.
The first proprietary bottling of Highland Park single malt Scotch whisky was as a 12 year old in 1979. It remains the core expression of the Highland Park range and is a smooth, balanced single malt, with a rich full flavour and a gentle smokey finish.

Excellent food and beverages. Lots of tasty things done with Highland Park Single Malt Scotch. Our palates were thoroughly and delightfully educated
This is part 2: Be sure to check out part 1 here: www.youtube.com A couple of weeks ago I reviewed Old Engine Oil form Harviestoun Brewery. I was very impressed. The beer was very well balanced and had a great aroma and flavor. I really enjoyed it and was looking forward to trying one of their Ola Dubh series. Well, the long holiday weekend was perfect for trying the Ola Dubh 12, which is aged in casks from Highland Park Distillery that produce their world famous 12 yr Scotch. I called my buddy Randy and he agreed that it would be fun to try the beer as well as the Scotch. So, Pam and I ventured over to Randy's house where we met another friend, Erik and his wife, for a nice dinner by the pool and a tasting if the beer and scotch.
