- Description
- Highland Park's 1960 vintage, aged 17 years and bottled in 1977, represents the distillery's house style from an earlier era, presented in the original dumpy bottle. The decades have mellowed the spirit into a refined expression where peat smoke, heather honey, and subtle orchard fruit integrate gracefully at modest strength. The texture is gentle and warm with a dry, lingering finish. A historical spirit best appreciated by those collecting Highland Park across different vintages.
