Process & Profile
Highland Park 40 Year Old is a testament to patience and time, matured in carefully selected first-fill European oak sherry casks for four decades. The Orkney climate, with its cool maritime influence, allows for a slow maturation that preserves balance while deepening complexity. This long aging imparts a harmony of dried fruits, spice, oak, and Highland Park’s signature gentle peat smoke.
