Highland Park’s oldest whisky has been hand-bottled from just 2 sherry-seasoned Spanish oak hogsheads. These casks were first filled in 1964 and lay undisturbed until 2008. In January 2010, the 2 casks were married, with the introduction of a little of the 1960 vintage from the earlier batch of 50-Year-Old. The newly married whisky was then returned to its hogsheads and left to harmonise for a further 8 years. With only 274 bottles released, this is an intensely rich whisky, with sweet notes of black cherries and Muscovado sugar, which give way to dried autumn fruits and warm toasted wood.

Highland Park

Arguably one of Scotland's most famous 'island distilleries' and certainly one of the most remote, Highland Park is situated on Orkney in the Shetlands. Established in 1798, the distillery sources peat from their own heather moorland and water from Cattie Maggie's spring, the same source they have been using for over 200 years. Highland Park still operate their own floor malts, which provide around 20% of the barley they require for whisky-making, and operate two wash still and two spirit stills.

The spirit is bold and complex with a whiff of wood char and a dense, barley-forward, honeyed character. The 12 year old and 18 year olds are considered classic malts by many whisky lovers, while single vintage releases and special editions sell quickly to collectors. Independent bottlings are rare, but worth seeking out.
