Whisky tours right on our doorstep - Highland Park Distillery is only a three-minute drive away
Sip, sip hooray!
Orkney lies outside the five major whisky making regions of Scotland and has only two distilleries, one of which – The Highland Park Distillery – is just a mile or so from the hotel. The distillery’s founder, Magnus Eunson, was a direct descendant of the Vikings.
It is said that the illicit distillery was founded in 1798 – but in truth, that’s just the year that the authorities finally caught up with Magnus! Today, the distillery’s custodians stay true to the exacting standards of whisky that their founder introduced, sharing his bold and uncompromising approach.
Crafted in the old way by a new generation of Vikings, the critically acclaimed whisky is shaped by our surprisingly temperate with its lack of extremes (2°C in winter to 16°C in summer) - perfect for a long, even-paced whisky maturation. A creative selection of tours and experiences are available for you to enjoy (and there’s no need to drive!)
