"Built in 1798, Scotland's most Northern distillery is set on the site where the infamous illicit distiller, Magnus Eunson?s bothy used to stand. Highland Park continues to malt its own barley using the traditional floor malting method and to kiln dry the 'green' malt using peat cut from its own moorlands. One of the few distilleries where you can still see and smell smoke wafting from its pagoda. Cattie Maggie is the underground spring that feeds a former quarry close to Highland Park. The spring and quarry are named after a tinker who lived in the vicinity. The water is pure and very hard, rising through a sedimentary rock of hard sandstone."

TASTING NOTE
AROMA WITHOUT WATER
Aromas of red apples and pears with vanilla syrup. Morning dew and juniper add a floral note, delicately encased in a subtle smoke.
TASTE WITHOUT WATER
A touch of chilli to start balanced with the sweetness of sherbet and candied oranges. Peaches and strawberries in sugar syrup with hints of milk chocolate add to the mix. Flavours of pear skin to finish with a delicate touch of smoke.
AROMA WITH WATER
Green apples and cream soda aromas with a hint of log fire smoke. Morning dew along with heather honey and a zing of lemon endures.
TASTE WITH WATER
The taste of chilli builds to the heat of white pepper. Fruity flavours such as red apples, kiwi and ripe bananas are balanced with a salty pistachio edge. Royal icing and aniseed add to the sweetness.
