Highland Park 1958
Review by Highland Park
- Colour
Deep orange. Aroma: Sweet tobacco. Scenty. Sandalwood. Walnuts.
- Palate
Sultanas, lemons, vanilla, butterscotch, toasted almonds. Very restrained sweetness.
- Finish
Long and soothing. Late hint of spicy, heathery smoke to provide a balancing dryness.
- Note
-
A very limited edition of 665 bottles of 40 year old Highland Park, 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.
