Highland Park distillery, Whisky distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Scotland.
Highland Park Distillery processes local barley and heather peat in copper pot stills to create single malt Scotch whisky in the northern region of Scotland.
Magnus Eunson established the distillery in 1798 as an unlicensed operation, and the facility obtained its official distilling permit from authorities in 1826.
The production methods incorporate traditional Orcadian techniques, utilizing local peat with high heather content for the malting process of the grains.
The distillery welcomes guests through scheduled guided tours that include explanations of whisky production steps and sampling sessions of different expressions.
The facility earned recognition when its 25-year-old whisky received a perfect 100-point score at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, marking a milestone achievement.
