- Description
- Distilled in 1956 and bottled in 1974 after 18 years in cask, this Highland Park represents the distillery's output from its mid-century production and the bottling practices of its era. The profile balances heathery, honeyed Highland character with the deeper oak influence that comes from near two decades of maturation in traditional casks. Texture is smooth and rounded, with the dusty, slightly austere quality typical of whisky from this bottling period. A historical artifact for collectors of vintage Highland Park and those interested in how the distillery's character has evolved.
