- Description
- Highland Park's 12-year-old Eunson's Legacy commemorates the distillery's 200th anniversary in 1998, named after Magnus Eunson, the founder credited with establishing production on Orkney. At this age, the spirit shows bright heather and honey with restrained peat smoke and subtle maritime notes, all carried cleanly at 40% ABV. The palate is approachable and balanced, with a gentle spice note in the finish. A milestone release that showcases Highland Park's core character at an accessible strength.
