- Description
- Bottled during the 1960s at just five years old and 43% ABV, this young Highland Park reflects a different era of whisky production when age statements were modest and spirit maturation accelerated. The relative youth allows the distillery's foundational character—maritime smoke and orchard notes—to shine without heavy oak influence. A glimpse into how Highland Park was presented at its commercial inception.
