Highland Park releases its 50 Year Old
From the windswept, salt-kissed isles of Orkney comes the Highland Park 50 Year Old (44.8 percent abv, RM 114,000) – a complex, vibrant whisky vatted from five casks distilled in 1960, making it the distillery’s oldest and most prestigious release.
With just 275 limited edition bottles available, only a handful of Scotch connoisseurs will have the chance to delight in its rich, spicy notes of dusty wood, old tobacco pouch, muscovado sugar, and camphor, with a long and delicately smoky finish. A handcrafted sterling silver cage designed by Scottish jewellery designer, Maeve Gillies, embraces the bottle containing the burnished mahogany spirit, paying tribute to Orkney’s maritime elements, its wild weather, and the ever-steady progression of time.
