Highland Park 56 Year Old

Highland Park have unveiled their oldest whisky to date. Aged for an incredible 56 years, this rare and visually striking release is limited to just 170 bottles globally. Highland Park 56 Year Old, crafted over more than five decades, boasts a unique harmony of complex flavours between jasmine, raisin, cloudy honey and delicate peat smoke. Bottled at a natural strength of 47.1% abv, and free from chill filtration.

In 2008 Gordon Motion selected ten special casks, first laid down in 1968, that contained whiskies of an unusual flavour profile—both complex and intriguingly ethereal—that showed potential for further ageing. To further develop the flavour of each of these casks, he decided to marry and re-rack them in a series of first-fill sherry-seasoned Oak casks. The 56 is made entirely from one of these casks, a never-before-tasted, sherry-seasoned, first-fill American Oak Puncheon that became ready for bottling in 2024.
