Process & Profile

Highland Park Heather Cask Strength Scotch Whisky is a bold limited-release single malt that highlights the distillery’s signature Orkney heathered peat in a more powerful cask strength format. Bottled at 63.6% ABV, this expression is designed to showcase Highland Park’s smoky, floral, honeyed, and sherry-influenced character with greater intensity than a standard proof bottling.

This release is crafted from 100% Orkney peat-smoked barley, giving it a pronounced heathered peat profile tied directly to Highland Park’s island identity. It is drawn from first-fill European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks along with selected refill casks, creating a whisky that balances sweetness, smoke, spice, oak, and dark fruit. The result is a full-bodied Scotch with charred marshmallow, macadamia nuts, brandy butter, toasted oak, vanilla, peppery spice, and aromatic heather smoke.

For customers looking for a high-proof Highland Park release, Heather Cask Strength offers a more intense expression of the distillery’s house style. It is especially appealing for fans of smoky Scotch, sherry-cask single malt, Orkney whisky, and cask strength bottlings that deliver both power and balance.

How to Enjoy

Highland Park Heather Cask Strength Scotch Whisky is best enjoyed neat in a whisky glass after a few minutes of rest. At 63.6% ABV, the whisky opens gradually, allowing the smoke, vanilla, sherry richness, macadamia, toasted oak, and spice to become more expressive.

A few drops of water are highly recommended for many drinkers. Water can soften the proof and bring forward more vanilla sweetness, creamy marshmallow, heather smoke, and dark fruit while calming the peppery heat. This bottle is best treated as a slow-sipping cask strength Scotch rather than a casual mixer. It pairs well with smoked almonds, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, aged cheese, grilled meats, and desserts with caramel or toasted marshmallow notes.
