- Description
- Highland Park's 16-year-old travel retail exclusive from 2005 carries the signature character of Orkney's most celebrated distillery: honeyed orchard fruit and subtle peat smoke balanced by maritime minerality and heather. Three decades of retail dormancy have preserved the whisky in its original state, offering a snapshot of how Highland Park's core age statement once tasted. The combination of provenance and rarity makes this a conversation piece for collectors of travel retail bottlings and Highland Park devotees.
