Rare Auld Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distilled at
HIGHLAND
PARK DISTILLERY
Highland Park distillery (the most northerly distillery in the world)
was reportedly established in the 1790s by Magnus Eunson who was
linked to illicit distilling and smuggling. Stills were increased
from 2 to 4 in 1898. The Highland Park distillery is the only distillery
in Orkney still in production and traditional floor maltings are
still used.
