Highland Park 1973 Single Sherry Cask 28 Year Old #11167

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.

Highland Park bottled two sherry casks from October 1973, this one is from cask #11167. The distillery ntentionally released two sister casks as an experiment to illustrate the changes made in the wood. The casks were filled, matured for 28 years and emptied on 22nd February 2001 at the same time.

Cask #11167 only yielded 524 bottles.
