Botanical gin, crisp juniper, cypress, and aged woods—in an easy, flame-free wax melt.

Hidden among the ridges of Appalachia, mountain stills once spoke of ingenuity, resourcefulness, and a fierce determination to make a life from the land. Highland Still honors that history—not by recreating the still itself, but by capturing the landscape surrounding it.

Crisp juniper opens with cool botanical clarity. Gin and red currant add a refined, lightly fruit-forward heart before oak, cedar, cypress, and balsam settle into a woodsy finish. Fresh yet grounded, Highland Still feels quietly confident rather than heavy or smoky.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Highland Still wax melts smell like?

They offer a crisp, wood-forward fragrance that opens with juniper, moves into botanical gin and red currant, and settles into oak, cedar, cypress, and balsam.
