Initially intended for the travel retail sector and the duty-free market. This 21-year-old single malt scotch whisky matured in American oak casks previously refined with sherry wine. Highland Park 21 contains everything you would expect: powerful aromas, a rich body and a lightly smoky finish.

Highland Park Distillery was founded in 1798, making it the sixth oldest distillery in Scotland, located on the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland. Although the remote Orkney Islands are at the same latitude as Stockholm, the climate is not so harsh. The thermometer rarely drops below zero and reaches 20°C in summer, the ideal temperature for whisky production.
Best Single Malt 2009 at the World Whisky Awards.
