Highland Park is Scotland's most Northerly distillery. It isn't a Highland malt as one might think by its name but rather is located on the Isle of Orkney. It was founded in 1798 and is one of only a few distilleries in the world that still has a hand-turned malting house on site. This micro malting provides 20% of the Highland Park grain bill. Michael Jackson describes it as 'the greatest all-rounder in the world of malt whisky'.
