Process & Profile

Highland Park 54 Year Old is the oldest and rarest expression ever released by the distillery. Originally laid down in 1968 in ten refill casks, it was transferred in 2008 into first-fill European oak sherry butts and left to mature for an additional 14 years. Bottled in 2023 to mark the distillery’s 225th anniversary, this whisky represents over half a century of careful aging, delivering incredible depth, complexity, and balance. Only 225 bottles were released worldwide, making it a true collector’s piece.
