Highland Park is a peated whisky, but for many it’s a more accepted peat, perhaps lighter and easier on the palate.

It’s quite subtle which is actually a nice change as a lot of scotches have a very prominent oaky flavour. The taste is when the peat hits you but it’s nicely rounded off by the sweeter sherry notes or raisins.

Highland Park’s standard 12 year old was the dram that launched my passion for whisky and I will always have a soft spot for it as a result.

A wee story to go along with my dram is always welcome but it sometimes feels like the heavy-handed marketing obscures the quality of the liquid. For that reason it is a brand I have wandered away from over the years but recent tastes of Full Volume and Valfather showed me that I could still enjoy the spirit of this particular distillery.

A veritable glut of new bottlings, from single casks, limited editions, travel exclusives and core range rebrands have been released with something to satisfy even the most hardened of HP enthusiast. In that regard, Highland Park Dragon Legend is rather the oddity as it seems to have sneaked out of Orkney with scarcely a whisper.

Toffee and heather honey. Apple. Lemon. Straw. Sea salt and pepper. Charcoal.
