product Details

Highland Park Hillhead​

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.

Released in 2018, Hillhead was the fifth and final bottling in Highland Park's The Keystones Series, which explored and celebrated the five traditional keystones of production that have remained unchanged for 220 years.

Named after the distillery in Kirkwall, this release explores the impact of cask harmonisation. The whisky itself consists of three first-fill casks: sherry seasoned European oak, sherry seasoned American oak, and ex-bourbon American oak.

One of only 1200 bottles.
