Highland Park 12 Year 1980s

Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 75cl / 40%

A classic 1980s bottling of Highland Park 12 Year Old, presented in the iconic slope-shouldered dumpy bottle with striking screen-printed labels. Bottled at 40% ABV in the traditional 75cl format, this expression was distilled during the early to mid-1970s, an era widely regarded as one of the finest periods in Highland Park's history. These early bottlings have become increasingly sought after for their distinctive old-style character and remarkable consistency.

This Highland Park 12 year old showcases the rich, robust house style that made the Orkney distillery legendary. Far more earthy and weighty than modern releases, it delivers an oily texture layered with dried fruits, dark sherry, heather honey, mineral-rich peat smoke and warming spices. The peat is characteristically fragrant rather than medicinal, combining with thick malt, waxy citrus and a subtly coastal salinity to create a whisky of exceptional depth and balance.
