Highland Park 1977 Bicentenary Repatriation / Japanese Edition

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.

The 21 year old bicentenary release was thought to be sold out in 1998, however, in 2008 they discovered hundreds of bottles in a Japanese warehouse. After a quick repackage, and this fantastic bottling was released again.

One of 690 bottles.
