On Orkney, Highland Park has been crafting whisky for years using distinctive peat. The result is a beautifully gentle smoke with a hint of heather. Now the distillery is turning up the intensity with the Highland Park Cask Strength Heather whisky.
This is the first in a new series of releases, each bottled at cask strength. The new single malt is made entirely from 100% peat-smoked malted barley. The peat is classic Highland Park floral-forward and aromatic.
After distillation, the spirit matured in a combination of first-fill European and American oak sherry casks.
It’s been bottled at an impressive cask strength of 63.6%, giving enthusiasts the chance to experience the whisky as it was in the cask.
How does Highland Park Cask Strength Heather taste?
In terms of flavor profile, Cask Strength Heather promises an aromatic, full-on experience. Here are the tasting notes:
- Nose: Bold notes of campfire smoke, vanilla pods, and brandy butter.
- Palate: Creamy, with hints of marshmallow, macadamia nuts, and a subtle touch of peppery spice.
No details were shared about the finish.
Where can you buy Highland Park Cask Strength Heather Whisky?
The whisky will be released to all whisky lovers next year, but you can make sure you get your hands on it early. The Scottish distillery has reserved a number of bottles for Inner Circle members at £59.50 each.

Screen grab of the YouTube channel where the video was blocked due to Pernod Ricard lobbying.

- Let's keep this factually correct. Pernod Ricard DID NOT release a Chinese whisky. Their first output from The Chuan (the name of the distillery in Sichuan, China) wasn't fit for bottling. What they actually bottled was imported Scotch whisky. This is why the product is called "PURE MALT" and not "Chinese Whisky" - because Pure Malt is not a regulated term - this is not a secret. This was exposed about a week after they released it. There were even videos about their own staff on site admitting it was made from imported whisky - which Pernod Ricard got the lawyers onto to get the video pulled. I've got a copy if you want it.Yvonne09-10-2025
