Highland Park Single Malt is a Scotch Whisky distilled by Highland Park Distillery, Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands, the northernmost distillery in Scotland. The distillery was founded in 1798.
Highland Park is one of the few distilleries to malt its own barley, using locally cut peat from Hobbister Moor as fuel. The malt is peated to a level of 20 parts per million (ppm) phenol, and then mixed with unpeated malt produced on the Scotish mainland.
In 1984, Highland Park was the only whisky ever to have scored a rating of 100% by the regular tasting team of "The Scotsman", the national newspaper of Scotland. Whisky reviewer and expert Michael Jackson has called Highland Park, "The greatest all-rounder in the world of malt whisky."
