Highland Park 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

With only 275 bottles produced, this prestigious edition is set to become an exclusive collectors’ item.

 Each bottle is unique, encased in an intricate ‘net cage’ of hand-crafted ornate Sterling silver created by Scottish jewellery designer Maeve Gillies, who took inspiration from Orkney’s elemental forces.


Maeve’s bottle design celebrates Orkney: its seas, island life, wild elements, incredible natural light and the passage of time.


Highland Park 50 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Recommended Retail Price: £10,000.  
Strength: 44.8% alcohol by volume

Appearance: Clear and bright with burnished mahogany hues.

Aroma: Complex and multi-layered; cigar box and old tobacco pouch at first.  Slowly the emphasis moves to fruit and spices; cooked damsons, raisins and nutmeg are prevalent.

Taste: At full strength it is rich and spicy, with excellent tannins and notes of muscovado sugar to the fore, with hint of wax.  When reduced, orange peel, camphor and cloves emerge.

Aftertaste: Long and very spicy, slightly smoky remnants.
