The Highland Park 14 Years Old Loyalty of the Wolf is a distinctive bottling from the historic Highland Park Distillery, which has been producing whisky using traditional methods on the remote Orkney Islands in the north of Scotland since 1798. This bottling was originally created for the travel retail market and is aimed at lovers of Scottish single malt whiskies who are seeking a combination of fruity depth, light smokiness and balanced maturation.

The whisky was matured for 14 years in a combination of American sherry casks and ex-bourbon casks, giving it a complex flavour profile. The cask selection brings out notes of sweet honey, ripe fruit and delicate spices, complemented by the subtle peaty smoke characteristic of Highland Park. Bottled at 42.3 % ABV, with its natural colour, this single malt impresses with a pleasant balance and a slight maritime character, attributable to the harsh conditions of the Orkneys.

The ‘Loyalty of the Wolf’ edition is part of a themed series inspired by Viking values. Here, the wolf symbolises loyalty, endurance and a sense of community – qualities that also characterise this whisky. Packaged in a decorative gift box, this bottling is ideal both for personal enjoyment and as a high-quality gift for whisky enthusiasts.

Tasting Note

Colour: Golden amber.

Nose: Sweet smoke, apple compote, dried apricots, honey and subtle hints of vanilla.

Palate: Full-bodied with caramel, toasted nuts, baking spices, candied fruit and a hint of peaty smoke.

Finish: Gently smoky, medium-length with a soft fruity sweetness and subtle oaky spice.

This whisky reveals its flavours particularly well when enjoyed neat at room temperature, but can also be opened up further with a few drops of water. Ideal as an evening dram, as an introduction to the world of peaty whiskies or as a complement to a balanced tasting. When paired with smoked fish, strong cheese or dark chocolate, the interplay of flavours becomes even more intense – a well-balanced Orkney whisky with character and depth.
