Highland Park 50 Year Old (2018 Release)

Highland Park’s oldest whisky has been hand-bottled from just 2 sherry-seasoned Spanish oak hogsheads. These casks were first filled in 1964 and lay undisturbed until 2008. In January 2010, the 2 casks were married, with the introduction of a little of the 1960 vintage from the earlier batch of 50-Year-Old. The newly married whisky was then returned to its hogsheads and left to harmonise for a further 8 years. With only 274 bottles released, this is an intensely rich whisky, with sweet notes of black cherries and Muscovado sugar, which give way to dried autumn fruits and warm toasted wood.
