Highland Park 1979 Cadenhead's for Dival di Gabri

A stunning vintage Highland Park, distilled in April 1979 and bottled in May 1991 by Wm. Cadenhead.

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 is labelled especially for Dival di Gabri in Torino, Italy, and is one of a set of eight that also includes a Bowmore and a Scapa. Much like the white labelled Sestante imports, these appear to be re-labellings of the same vintages from the original Wm. Cadenhead dumpy collection.

The Dival di Gabri versions were strictly limited and incredibly rare.
