Rated by: John Hansell, 94/100

Still lively for its age, and beautifully balanced. Bountiful golden fruit (sultana, pineapple upside down cake, tangerine, overripe nectarine) balanced by soothing, creamy vanilla. A peppering of dried spice, chamomile tea, toasted oak, cigar box, and subtle smoke round out the palate. Soft and seductive.

The Highland Park Orcadian Vintage series is inspired by the myths and legends of Orkney, they are extremely limited and will not be re-produced. This range celebrates some of the finest whiskies ever made, highlighting the most unique characteristics of Highland Park whiskies from the years of 1964, 1968, 1970, 1971 and 1976.

Recognize the all-pervading obsession with quality and attention to detail; distinct aromas balanced with a full-bodied floral sweetness that comes from a long-term maturation that is distinct to Highland Park.
