- Description
- Distilled in 1956 and aged for nearly two decades, this Highland Park was bottled in 1974 at the distillery in the characteristic dumpy bottle. The extended maturation has softened the spirit's characteristic Orkney island character, revealing deeper, aged oak influence alongside subtle peat. A historic bottling for collectors and those seeking how Highland Park expressed itself in the 1970s.
