Highland Park whisky

Highland Park is Edrington’s distillery in Kirkwall on Orkney, known for lightly peated single malt matured largely in sherry-seasoned casks. This page lists every Highland Park we track, with the best current UK price for each.

Orkney is legally part of the Highland region, though we group it with the Islands for browsing. The peat is light: some of the malt is made on site and dried with peat, the rest is unpeated, and the two are mixed. The core range runs from the 12 Year Old upwards, but only some bottles are in stock at any time; the grid shows what the retailers we check are selling now.

For the distillery’s history, see Whiskipedia on Highland Park. Prices are the best current in-stock offer from the UK retailers we check (how we compare prices).

25 full-size bottles (50cl to 1 litre) in stock, with the best current price from the UK retailers we check.

Before comparing a hammer price with a shop price, add the fees: buying whisky at auction vs retail works through them. Auction medians for many brands have fallen since their 2021 and 2022 peaks, as what 1.6 million auction lots show about whisky prices sets out.

What is the oldest Highland Park whisky you can buy?

Is Highland Park peated?
Lightly. About a fifth of its malt is made on its own floor maltings and dried over local Hobbister Moor peat, which gives a heathery rather than medicinal smoke; our reference data gives 30 to 40 ppm for that malt (Whiskipedia gives about 20). The rest is unpeated, and the two are mixed before distillation.
Where is Highland Park made?
In Kirkwall, on Orkney. Legally that is the Highland region, though Orkney is often grouped with the Islands. Scapa, Orkney’s other distillery, is also in Kirkwall. The distillery was founded in 1798.
Who owns Highland Park?
The Edrington Group, which has owned the distillery since its purchase of Highland Distillers in 1999. Whiskipedia on Highland Park covers the ownership history back to the founding in 1798.
