Highland Park 1968 Orcadian Vintage

Following the release of the 1964 Orcadian Vintage, the 1968 followed suit in November 2009.

Highland Park was built by David Robertson all the way back in 1798. The distillery's relationship with blenders, Robertson & Baxter, saw it acquired by Highland Distillers in 1937, who were subsequently bought by Edrington in 1999, who run it today. The modern Highland Park single malt brand was first officially bottled in the 1970s, with the release of an 8 year old age statement, but distillery bottlings first appeared around the 1950s. The look of the brand has changed many times over the years, but its cult following and popularity has never diminished. It remains one of the most recognisable single malts in the world to this day.

This was a vatting of eight hogsheads, which yielded only 1,550 bottles. The presentation as always with Highland Park is spectacular, a hard wood case with a silver Highland Park amulet logo inlay and a stunning black glass bottle.

Distilled in 1968 and bottled in 2008.

One of 1550 bottles.
