Highland Park 50 Year Old 2018
"We hand-bottled this Highland Park 50 Year Old from just two sherry-seasoned Spanish hogshead casks laid down in 1964, over half a century ago. We first discovered the casks in 2008, at the very back of warehouse number seven, and we were astonished by their incredible flavor.
But bringing two hogsheads of such extremely rare liquid off the island to be âmarriedâ at our warehouse in Glasgow was not without its challenges. Justifiably nervous of the whiskyâs great rarity, we decided that the two casks simply couldnât be allowed to travel together. Rather, like members of the Royal Family, each cask made its journey alone, one in September and one in October 2009. Briefly parted after nearly 50 years spent side by side, the two hogsheads were reunited â the whisky âmarriedâ â for a further eight years.
When we brought these two 1964 hogsheads together, we also introduced a small amount of our original 50 Year Old, first released in 2010, a 1960 vintage. It means thereâs a thread of continuity, a legacy within a legacy, in each of these 274 bottles."
