Highland Park distillery was founded by Magnus Eunson, a butcher and church officer by day and illicit distiller and whisky smuggler by night. In 1798 he was caught illegally distilling whisky on the site. In 1826, nearly 30 years later, Highland Park received an official licence to distil whisky.
The name of the distillery does not refer to the Scottish Highlands, but rather to the fact that the distillery was founded on an area called ‘High Park’ distinguished from a lower area nearby.
In February 2023, Highland Park released a 54-year-old Single Malt Scotch whisky to celebrate Highland Park’s 225th anniversary.
The distilling process at Highland Park is the same as that used at other distilleries.
Highland Park uses the local peat, which contains a higher proportion of heather than many other peats. The whisky is aged in sherry casks made of either American or European oak, purchased from Oloroso sherry producers in Spain.
