Highland Park 1974 Single Cask 33 Year Old #11501 / Viking Cinderella

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.

Distilled in 1974 and matured for 33 years in single cask #11501, this release was for Viking Cinderella, a cruise ship that travels between Sweden and Finland. The duty free shopping on board has been popular enough for the ship having its own whisky festival.
