The world’s most northerly whisky distillery founded in 1798 by Magnus Eunson of Gallowhill. Until it was licensed in 1825, its production was illicit and Eunson was assisted in evading the tax exciseman by a church elder who hid the contraband under the pulpit.
Highland Park is one of the few remaining distilleries to use traditional maltings to germinate the barley. The barley is dried using the aromaticheather peat that is cut from the nearby Hobbister Moor.
A spicy nose with a hint of violet overtones. The house style is describedas smoky but this is not the case with this expression. Rather honey, vanilla, custard and banana.
A smooth well balanced malt with a long lasting finish.
A smooth well balanced malt with honey, vanilla essences and dry spices. Long lasting and fresh.
The unique and alluring nature of Single Cask releases means we cannot bring you the same delightful elixirs again and again – once the whisky is gone, it’s gone for good. The expressions live as a fragment of the past, never to be repeated.
We invite you to delve into our whisky archives. Explore past releases and bask in amber nostalgia, accompanied with distillery history and tasting notes from Mr. Hart himself.
Hart Brothers can trace their origins in the licensed trade back to the late 19th century when the family were licensed victuallers and publicans in Paisley, the mill town on the outskirts of Glasgow. It was not until 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders.
Alistair Hart joined the company in 1975 and it was his responsibility as chief blender to source vintage casks of single malt whisky that were not readily available through any specialist whisky shop or online whisky site. Today, we continue to secure special and rare malt and grain whiskies that are further matured and only selected for single cask bottling after careful tasting and consideration.
We always pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
We make sure our customers can best share with us the single malt scotch whisky experience which is why we add nothing to the malt whisky other than the purest water.
