Vintage Highland Park whisky to retail at £3,750 per bottle

[wellinghall]

"Highland Park distillery is launching a 45-year-old whisky - which will cost a staggering £3,750. Just 290 bottles of vintage Highland Park, which are usually sold at auction, are to be released for retail.

The new release is the oldest of Highland Park's vintage releases dating back to 1964, and is to be accompanied by a full strength 40-year-old version, which will cost £2,250."

A crate of ancient Highland Park Whisky, or just a random crate of stuff?

Mhm. I like whisky, but not that much! I'm never convinced that these things are sufficiently nicer/better than their more mundance counterparts, for the extra money. Although if there are people out there prepared to pay for it, then it'll keep the whisky distillers in business for a bit longer, which is no bad thing.

Being that old it's probably only good for mixing with honey for a throat balm.

I once had a glass of Black Bowmore - if we're ever both on Islay at the same time, I'll see if they've got enough left to buy you one...
