About Highland Park, the Orkney Single Malt with Viking Soul
Whisky has been distilled at Highland Park in Kirkwall, Orkney since 1798. Our founder, Magnus Eunson was a direct descendant of Vikings who settled in Orkney over 1,000 years ago. A butcher and church officer by day and a bootlegger and smuggler by night, he set up an illegal whisky-making operation at a little bothy (a stone hut) at High Park, overlooking Kirkwall.

It is still the site of the distillery today and although we say Highland Park was founded in 1798, that's actually the year the authorities finally caught up with Magnus and he finally had to go legal.

Few trees survive the gale-force winds on Orkney. This makes the island peat woodless and rich in heather. This then helps create the trademark Highland Park flavour profile of aromatic smoky peat and sweet heather honey.
