Finally, Duvel is completely pure and natural because the brewery still respects the authentic preparation method using yiest cultivated from the original yeast strains (1918). |

Highland Park
![]() back to whisky menu |
The abiding care and attention, the hallmark of Highland Park production, manifests itself in the distinctive aromatic, full-bodied floral sweetness of the whisky.

Orkney is abundantly rich in heritage; the Islands have been inhabited for over 5,500 years and each successive culture has added to the legacy of Orkney. This legacy encompasses remarkable Neolithic sites, haunting wartime remains and stunning listed buildings. In addition, the Islands offer an unspoilt environment of breathtaking beauty and clarity. The Orcadians are justifiably proud of their history, dialect and traditions; traditions which, since 1798, include Highland Park single malt Scotch whisky. Highland Park is happy to reciprocate; we are proud of our Orcadian roots. The accolade of Best Spirit in the World wasn't a one-off. Highland Park has been picking up medals and awards for over a decade. Here at Babylon we serve Highland Park 12-, 15- and 18-year old. |
