Highland Park Single Malt Scotch Whisky 56 Year Old · 1968 Vintage

Highland Park 56 is the oldest and rarest whisky the distillery has ever created. It was crafted from an exceptional line of casks, first laid down in 1968 and hand-selected for further aging in 2008 by Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion. This remarkable single malt comes in a unique presentation case and decanter, which pays tribute to the more than half a century of craft that have gone into its making—as well as the centuries of Orkney creativity that have inspired it.

This is a perfumed, complex whisky with enormous depth and distinctive Orkney character. On the nose, you’ll get aromas of jasmine, sweet raisins, cloudy honey and delicate peat smoke, while on the palate you’ll find notes of citrus and orange peel as well as spices and a hint of lapsang souchong tea. The finish is exceptionally subtle, mixing woody spice with honeyed oak and fragrant heathered peat smoke.
