From the Producer
Highland Park distillery was founded in 1798 by Magnus Eunson on a site in Kirkwall previously used for illicit distillation, and it received its official licence in 1826; the name refers to a local area called High Park, not the Scottish Highlands. The distillery was sold to James Grant & Sons of Glasgow in 1937 and was purchased by The Edrington Group in 1979. According to Highland Park, the whisky is produced using locally cut Orkney peat that contains a higher proportion of heather than many other peats, and it is matured predominantly in sherry-seasoned casks of American or European oak purchased from Oloroso sherry producers in Spain. Highland Park's travel-exclusive range includes age-statement and cask-led bottlings sold only through duty-free and travel retail channels, of which the Hong Kong Skyline series is an example.
