I’m a big fan of Scotch whisky, especially when I’m visiting Ireland. It’s the perfect way to end any day, especially when it’s time for dinner and you don’t want anything too heavy or spicy. Plus, wine and beer are not really options on this island so whiskey is almost always available at bars and restaurants — even if it’s just in small measures (like one shot). But which brand is best? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for in your dram: Is it smooth sweetness like Jameson Irish Whiskey or do you prefer something more robust like Bushmills Irish Cream Liqueur?
Yet another trip to Ireland has me thinking of Scotch again. This time, I chose to sample Highland Park Scotch in Ireland — a brand that I had never tried before.

Highland Park is the second-oldest distillery on Orkney Island and one of only two remaining independent distilleries in Scotland (the other being Bruichladdich). It’s also one of my favorites for its strong artisan appeal and character that you can taste in every sip.
Why Highland Park? As usual, it started with an advertisement for the whiskey I was looking for.
I was looking for an affordable bottle of Irish whiskey and saw a bottle of Highland Park in an ad. I had never tried it before, but was curious about what the hype was all about.
I figured that if it’s good enough for James Bond, then it must be worth trying at least once.
After a quick search on Google and some other sites, I learned that Highland Park was not only available in Ireland but it was also one of the best Scottish whiskies around.

It’s made by one of the few remaining independent distilleries in Scotland (like Talisker), which means they have complete control over every step of their whiskey production process.

Highland Park is made on Orkney Island off mainland Scotland’s northern coast, so you know it has been aged in some pretty salty air! This is why this particular brand tastes better than others–the sea air adds an extra layer of complexity to each sip you take.
I also discovered that it is made by one of the few remaining independent distilleries in Scotland, which gives it a strong artisan appeal and character that you can taste in every sip.

The best thing about Highland Park Scotch whiskey? You don’t have to be a connoisseur or whisky expert to enjoy this drink–it’s for everyone!
How does Highland Park compare to other Scotches you’ve tried?
Highland Park is one of the best Scotch whiskies. It’s a single malt, which means it’s made from malted barley that has been fermented, distilled and aged in oak barrels for at least three years. This process gives Highland Park its unique taste and character, which you can taste even if you’re not familiar with other Scotches.
The distillery was founded in 1798 on Orkney Island off Scotland’s northern coast by Magnus Eunson (who was also an excise officer) and his wife Helen Muir Mackay Eunson; she was apparently instrumental in initiating production at what became known as Highland Park Distillery (it later became part of DCL/Diageo). Today there are six stills used to produce different types of whisky: two wash stills (used for producing spirit); two spirit stills (for distilling new make); one bourbon cask matured; one sherry cask matured; plus there’s an additional small pot still used exclusively for making specialty products like Double Wood or Triple Wood expressions!
But then again Ardbeg was probably the perfect whisky because it reminded me of Islay where I live — the smoky seaside town where the distillery is located and has been making whisky since 1815.

Highland Park is a Scottish whiskey produced by Highland Park Distillery on the Orkney Islands. The distillery was founded in 1798 and is one of the oldest in Scotland; it’s also owned by French company Pernod Ricard, which makes it easy to find around Dublin (and other countries).
Conclusion
So, if you’re looking for a good whisky in Ireland and you want something with a little bit of character and history behind it, I recommend Highland Park. You won’t be disappointed!
