HIGHLAND PARK - Distilled 1958 With Hand Blown Decanter & Book 70cl Bottle
The Highland Park 1958 is a very limited edition of 665 bottles of 40 Year Old Highland Park Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The 1958 is presented in a wooden presentation box which also contains a unique hand-blown, hand engraved Caithness Glass Decanter depicting the stone circle at the Ring of Brodgar on Orkney, with a solid glass stopper featuring the 'H' and a specially commissioned hardback book celebrating both Whisky and Orkney. All four items are numbered (e.g. 1 of 665) and Jim Robertson, Highland Park's previous Distillery Manager, has personally signed each book. Deep orange colour. Sweet tobacco aroma. Scenty. Sandalwood. Walnuts. Tastes of Sultanas, lemons, vanilla, butterscotch, toasted almonds. Very restrained sweetness. Long and soothing finish. Late hint of spicy, heathery smoke to provide a balancing dryness.
