This whisky is part of the Vintage Collection, exclusively released for Global Travel Retail, and pays tribute to Viking craftsmanship and wanderlust.
Distilled in 1977 and aged in a single cask (#4258) for over three decades, this distinguished whisky was bottled in 2003 at a cask strength of 52.1% and remains non-chill filtered. This limited release comprises only 480 bottles, rendering it a rare and highly sought-after collectible.
Highland Park is celebrated for its lightly smoky character, achieved through the use of floor-malted and peated barley—20% of which is floor-malted at the distillery. The peat, sourced from the Hobbister Moor just seven miles away, is over 4,000 years old and contributes to the whisky's unique profile.
The distillery, founded in the 18th century, boasts a rich history, with its original illicit still located at High Park. The whisky's wooden presentation box adds an element of elegance and exclusivity to this unique bottling.
