It’s non-chill filtered with no added colour, so what you get in the glass is what came out of the cask: \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003echarred marshmallow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emacadamia nuts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebrandy butter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e from the Sherry wood, lifted by \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003earomatic heathered peat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and that \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclassically oily Highland Park finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unmistakable Highland Park peat is where Heather shines. Highland Park’s usual house style features 80% unpeated malt to 20% Orkney peat. Heather throws that ratio out the window, using 100% Orkney peat sourced from Hobbister Moor, a few miles down the road from the distillery. Trees struggle to grow on Orkney thanks to the relentless wind, but every summer the moor turns into a carpet of purple heather. Over time, that heather has infused itself into the peat, giving this dram a floral character you won’t find anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s already scored a Double Gold at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and has largely sold out around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere in Australia, it’s been just as scarce. A handful of bottles landed here unofficially earlier this year, with Highland Park lovers paying $199+ to score one. But thanks to our close relationship with the distillery, we got an allocation direct for Members at just $140.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highland Park Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67704543412303,"sku":"Q-WC0617","price":112.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/1185\/7487\/files\/highlandparkheather_pdp_main-medal_1.png?v=1792044979","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyclub.com.au\/products\/q-wc0617","provider":"The Whisky Club AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
