    To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Highland Park Distillery - and in recognition of traditional whisky making spanning generations - a commemorative bottling was released in 1998.

    The late Michael Jackson, considered by many as the greatest whisky writer of them all, awarded it 9.5 out of 10 in Issue 5 of Whisky Magazine.  

    The limited edition Bicentenary 1977 Vintage was originally launched in 1998 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Orkney distillery. The whisky was matured in refill casks and bottled as a 21 year old.

    BBC News Reported: A "treasure trove" of Highland Park single malt found in Japan has been re-released for sale in the UK" in March 2009.

    Jason Craig, of Highland Park, said: "We were astounded to discover this rare stock in our previous distributor's warehouses in Japan."

    He explained: "This is a very special expression of Highland Park and one which we thought had sold out and been consumed long ago.

    "The Japanese have long been recognised as discerning consumers and collectors of single malt whisky and, as a result, a significant proportion made the journey to Tokyo and beyond."

    Almost 700 bottles of the Bicentenary 1977 Vintage were released onto the market in special bespoke packaging.

    Highland Park

    The Macallan might be the jewel in the crown of Edrington, but a close second is Highland Park, especially after the brand investment, it has received in recent times. Established in 1798 by David Robertson on the outskirts on Kirkwall on Orkney, history suggests the site was used for illicit distillery way before this official date. In a landscape shaped by nature, ravaged by Vikings and the tides of war, Highland Park manages to bring everything together. A historical whisky that is universally appreciated, offering a little bit of something and famously called an ‘all rounder’, from locally sourced peat to a welcoming rugged characteristic. Highland Park doesn’t need the branding to stand out from the crowd. An increasingly varied core range can seem bewildering to someone new, so start with the 18 year old and being your voyage.
