The maturation is first partially 'biological' i.e. under a thin veil of yeast or flor & partially oxidative, followed by a completely 'oxidative' process which begins as the yeast dies off due to lack of nutrients available in the Sherry. Then follows several decades of ageing in cask. A very old dry fortified wine of Denomination of Origin, ' Jerez-Xeres-Sherry'.

Located on the Orkney Islands, one of the northern most parts of Scotl&, is the Highland Park distillery. Founded on this remote & windswept island in 1798, the distillery has, for more than two centuries produced a full flavoured, single malt scottish whisky. Made from the best Barley malted over peat fires; merged with the unique spring waters of the island; & aged in casks for twelve long years that shape its rare & very distinctive character. In 1888, James Grant, whose father was the manager of the Glenvilet distillery, became managing partner, & later owner of Highland Park. Its product retains much that is traditional, even original. It has its own floor maltings & peat beds (the peat is cut shallow to impart a light 'rooty' character) & two traditional peat-fired kilns. During malting a little heather is burned. The Highland Distillery has more than an affinity with the West Highlands in its flavour than with the palish, fragrant, fresh flavoured North Highland groups of malt. Highland Park is a medium bodied whisky with a heathery aroma. ...
