About the distillery
Highland Park distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery based in Kirkwall, Orkney. It is the most northerly whisky distillery in Scotland, half a mile farther north than that at Scapa distillery.
Highland Park has performed well at international spirit ratings competitions. Its 25-year single malt scotch, for example, received double gold medals at the 2007 and 2009 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Other Information
This hand bottled Highland Park 50 Year Old is composed of nine refill casks laid down back in 1968. They were then married together in 2008 in first-fill sherry seasoned oak casks to mature for a further 12 years. In 2020, the whisky was finally filled into a single European oak cask and combined with a portion of the Highland Park 50 Year Old 2018 Release, saved especially for this purpose.
This special box also holds an attractive crystal decanter and a brown leather book providing insight into the development of the whisky.
One of only 274 bottles produced.
(Please also note the weight of this lot.)
Consumer protection laws do not apply to purchases from private sellers. More specifically, the right to reject (section 20 of the Consumer Rights Act) does not apply. Buyer's rights are significantly reduced when a sale is carried out between two individuals. Goods from private sellers do not have to be fault-free and if defects or marks were clearly mentioned in our description and lot photos, then you do not have a case against the seller. However, if the seller's goods do not match the description, you have the right to ask for a refund on return of the goods to us.
Please ensure that you undertake close up viewing/inspection prior to placing any bid.

Lots will be sold as seen and described.
Insurance against breakage or loss during transit is available at checkout at a cost of 3.5% of the hammer price.
Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against leakage in transit.
