- Description
- Highland Park's 1996 vintage spent exactly a decade in two refill hogsheads before Douglas Laing bottled it for the Provenance series in 2006. The 10-year maturation allows the distillery's signature heather honey and orchard fruit character to develop alongside gentle oak influence. This early 2000s release exemplifies how Highland Park's balanced profile can age gracefully in refill wood without over-extraction. Suited to whisky drinkers who appreciate the distillery's core identity without extended aging or cask manipulation.
