Highland Queen Whisky

Highland Queen is a blended Scotch named after Mary, Queen of Scots, one of Scotland’s most debated and romanticized historical figures. The whisky has been on the market since the late 19th century, making it one of the oldest blended Scotch names still sold today. The label and its Scottish tartan aesthetic make no secret that this is a whisky built on national romance as much as on distillate.

About Highland Queen

The brand is today owned by the French spirits company Picard Vins & Spiritueux, which has made Highland Queen one of its core Scotch names in export markets. For the newcomer, it is an easy and affordable way into blended Scotch, while for the more seasoned collector, the whisky represents a piece of living whisky history that has survived more than a century of shifting ownership and taste trends.

History & Background

Highland Queen was launched in 1893 and is named in honour of Mary, Queen of Scots, making it one of the oldest blended Scotch whiskies still on the shelves today. From the outset, the name and the distinctive tartan packaging signalled a whisky rooted in Scottish national romance rather than in a single named distillery. Like many other blended Scotch brands from the Victorian export era, ownership has changed over the years, and today Highland Queen is owned by the French spirits company Picard Vins & Spiritueux. The brand is sold today mainly in export markets, where the tartan aesthetic and royal name remain part of the appeal more than 130 years after launch.
