- Description
- Highland Park's 1956 vintage, aged 18 years and bottled in 1974, represents the distillery nearly seven decades ago, preserved in the original dumpy bottle. Nearly two decades of maturation have created a mellow expression where heather, honey, and the faintest peat smoke integrate smoothly at moderate strength. The palate is refined and dry, with a texture that reflects its age and the spirit's gentle evolution. A rare glimpse into Highland Park's historical character.
