Tasting Notes

Highland Park's 12 Year Old - Orkneyinga Legacy is a remarkable single malt that captures the essence of Orkney's rich history. This limited edition whisky is a harmonious blend of whiskies, matured in a thoughtful combination of European and American sherry casks. The result is a captivating dram that boasts a depth of flavors and aromas that pay homage to the Norse legacy of the Orkney Islands. With every sip, you're transported to a time of ancient sagas and legendary tales, where the whisky's complex notes of dried fruits, spices, and a hint of smoke intertwine in a symphony of flavors. Bottled in 2018, a portion of the proceeds from this exceptional release was donated to the Orkneyinga Saga Centre, ensuring the preservation of Orkney's historic sites for generations to come.
