Highland Park 50 Years Old 1968

This  2020 release from the famous Orkney distillery Highland Park, has been matured for an incredible 50 years. Highland Park's Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion has chosen 9 refill casks that were distilled and filled back in 1968 to be married together in 2008. These were then re-racked into first-fill sherry-seasoned oak casks to mature for a further 12 years. Furthermore, in 2020 he selected one of these single European oak butt's to be married once more with some of the single malt used for their 50-year-old 2018 release, distilled back in 1964. The whisky is presented within a beautifully hand-crafted oak box from award-winning master craftsman John Galvin. Inside the box, the whisky is accompanied by an eye-catching crystal decanter, encased in polished gold-plated metal and a leather-bound book telling the story behind this amazing whisky. This special release is one of only 274, each of which is individually numbered and personally signed by Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion. This particular bottle is bottle number 1.
