Highland Park
With a location as remote as The Scottish Highlands Park Distillery it should come as no surprise that its origin story is up for debate. Some say it was the farmer David Robertson who founded the distillery on the tiny northern island of Kirkwall in 1798, though others credit a former priest turned smuggler by the name of Magnus Eunson. Whatever the case may be, it wasn’t until the 1870s that the mysterious distillery on Kirkwall expanded under the leadership of William Stuart of Miltonduff and James Grant of Glenlivet. It would be another hundred years before Scottish Highlands Park released its first single malt whisky in the late 1970s. Since that time the distillery has grown into a cult favourite in the whisky community.
