The Highland Park 50 Year Old is a rare and magnificent expression that showcases the pinnacle of craftsmanship from Scotland’s most northerly distillery. Aged for half a century in sherry-seasoned oak casks, this ultra-aged single malt is complex, deeply rich, and perfectly balanced, with Highland Park’s signature touch of heather smoke and coastal influence.
Each bottle is housed in a bespoke decanter encased in a hand-crafted wood cradle, reflecting the distillery’s Viking heritage and commitment to artisan detail. With very limited quantities available globally, the 50 Year Old is both a collector’s treasure and a tribute to time itself.
