Highland Park 1973 Vintage Rare Old

Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2009 under their Rare Old label.

Highland Park

Highland Park Distillery is the most northerly malt whisky distillery in Scotland  and the closest Scottish distillery to the Arctic Circle. Highland Park was established in 1798 and is one of the few Scottish distilleries which continues to malt barley on its own traditional malting floors and to use locally cut peat from Hobbister Moor in its malt kiln. The distillery visitor centre welcomes visitors and offers distillery tours.

Intense fruity aromas. On the palate dried fruit, hint of new leather with a rounding sherry character.
