Calling all poets and Whisky lovers! Show us how versed you are in verse by writing your very own ode to Scotch.
Join our traditional Burns Night celebration of Whisky and poetry with Highland Park - you just might win something!
The great Scottish poet, Robert Burns, was famous for his love of poetry — and Scotch Whisky. His masterworks included the classic New Year's Eve song "Auld Lang Syne" as well as (unsurprisingly) the poem "Scotch Drink," a spectacularly Scottish ode to his favorite libation.
Every January 25th, the Scots celebrate Burns Night with a grand feast and a delicious dram of Scotch to honor the Bard and Scotland herself.
This year at Flaviar, we’re teaming up with Highland Park, the iconic Orkney Scotch Whisky, to host a poetry contest in tribute to the spirit we all know and love. Sláinte!
There’s no better muse than a delicious dram of Whisky to sip and savor as you pen your love letter to the spirit of life.
Highland Park 12 Year Old is the ultimate feasting spirit and the perfect inspiration for all your rhyming needs. This delectable expression is renowned for its unique notes of heather honey, spiced dried fruits and peat smoke.
Such an award-winning Whisky will undoubtedly spark your lyrical spirit to jot down an equally award-winning poem!

LISTEN NOWUnquestionably remote, Highland Park is the northernmost distillery of Scotland and sits on the Orkney islands. The conditions are tough for making a living, but perfect for making Whisky. Pounded relentlessly by winds reaching over 100 mph, no tree can survive such an onslaught. It means that its moorland peat is woodless but rich in fragrant heather, a vital ingredient in producing the award-winning spirit Highland Park is known for.
