Highland Park 1988 Cadenhead's 25 Year Old Small Batch / Japan Import

Although famed for their single cask releases, Wm. Cadenhead also produce this small batch series, bottled from vattings of never more than four casks from a single vintage and distillery. As with all their bottlings, these are non-chillfiltered with no added colouring.

This Highland Park was distilled in 1988 and bottled from sherry butts in 2013.

Highland Park was built by David Robertson all the way back in 1798. The distillery's relationship with blenders, Robertson & Baxter, saw it acquired by Highland Distillers in 1937, who were subsequently bought by Edrington in 1999, who run it today. The modern Highland Park single malt brand was first officially bottled in the 1970s, with the release of an 8 year old age statement, but distillery bottlings first appeared around the 1950s. The look of the brand has changed many times over the years, but its cult following and popularity has never diminished. It remains one of the most recognisable single malts in the world to this day.
