Staining to finishing inside box, feint surface marks to box.Bottle Description
The Highland Park 30 year old made its first appearance on our shelves in 2005 to great acclaim in the whisky world. It was given a new look two years later in 2007 and remained until 2013 when as part of a rebranding excercise by the distillery changed its look and reduced its abv. This earlier version with the screen printed label design were changed in 2006 with different packaging and a new shape bottle. Versions of these early Highland park 30 year olds are now becoming harder to find.

Distillery Information
Highland Park distillery is situated on the edge of Kirkwall in Orkney. Although the distillery has been in existence since 1798, it didn’t receive its first licence 'till 1826. The Borwick family stayed in control of the site until James Grant, the owner of Glenlivet distillery, bought it in 1895. It would remain in the Grants' ownership till 1937. It was then bought by Highland distillers who decided eventually to focus on their single malt rather than the volume that had been previously for blended whiskies. This required huge investment, they built their visitor centre in 1986. The Edrington Group and William Grant & sons bought over Highland distillers in 1999. In the years to come extra investment would be provided for the visitors centre and expansion of the distillery. Never forgetting its Nordic association, many of the present day releases have a Norse theme.
