Highland Park 37 Years Old 1973

Highland Park remains the most northerly whisky distillery in Scotland, although not by much, as it is little more than a stone's throw from fellow Orcadian, Scapa. Accounts of the distillery's genesis vary, and the truth is probably lost to the mists of time, but it is thought that a local farmer named David Robertson founded what we now know as Highland Park distillery in 1798, on the site of an illicit still operated by nefarious smuggler (and former priest) Magnus Eunson. When this flagship expression for the Global Travel Retail range the sole consideration was, as always the quality of the whisky in the bottle.  Highland Park believes in the honesty and integrity of the whisky as they are the only custodians of the ancient distillery so it's not about fashion, trends or bandwagons.  This 1973 Vintage has been made with the same enduring belief and integrity, to the same exacting standards, as our single malt Scotch whisky has always been. Exclusive to the travel retail market distilled in 1973 and bottled in 2010 aged for 37 years.
