One of the most northernly distilleries in Scotland on the Orkney islands, Highland Park proudly celebrates the viking heritage of the region in the names of its single malt bottlings. Before its official founding an illicit distillery had previously been run there by Magnus Eunson, a smuggler and allegedly a descendant of viking settlers in the area.

The distillery is equipped with a 12 ton mash tun, but this is only ever half filled, along with 12 Oregon Pine washbacks and four stills. Highland Park is also in the minority of distilleries which still does it own malting, and uses traditional floor maltings . These supply roughly 30% of the distillery's needs, and produce a peated malt which is lighter than its Islay counterparts. This is because of the amount of heather in the peat taken from the nearby Hobbister Moor.

Highland Park has an expansive core range of age statement single malts ranging from 10 to 50 years old, along with a wide array of limited releases. The main bottlings are the 10 year old Viking Scars, 12 year old Viking Honor, and 18 year old Viking Pride. Spring 2019 saw the release of new editions of the 25, 30, and 40 year old, and a 21 year old was added in August. The sherry cask aged 12 year old is a perfect blend of sweetness, spice, and smoky peat. It has fresh aromas of heather joined by some honey and spice. More sweetness comes through on the palate, along with notes of malt and citrus before a long finish with lots of wood smoke and peat with more spice.
