"The joy of these wine dinners is that one had splendid food and the company of other wine maniacs, who tend to be a collection of most agreeable people."

Highland Park 30 year old malt

To commemorate the first 180 years of The Spectator, a limited edition of 180 bottles of Highland Park 30 year old have been commissioned. Highland Park was established
30 years before The Spectator so it is fitting that the anniversary bottling should be a 30 year old, the age of the distillery when the magazine was launched.

Like The Spectator, Highland Park is uncompromising in its approach with a belief in heritage and a respect for tradition. Highland Park is the Distiller of the Year and the world’s most respected single malt. The quality of Highland Park is built on five fundamental keystones.

HAND-TURNED MALT adds to the deliciously succulent, balanced layers of aromatic character.

AROMATIC PEAT gives a delectably seductive, luxuriant floral sweetness.

COOL MATURATION enhances the smooth character of our whisky.
SHERRY OAK CASKS contribute to the distinctive richness and multi-dimensional complexity.

CASK HARMONISATION ensures consistency and balance.

“An exemplary Highland Park… Whiskies like this one remind me why I fell in love with whisky in the first place”
John Hansell, Malt Advocate Magazine

For more information visit www.highlandpark.co.uk

There are only 180 bottles of this remarkable and highly collectable whisky – order yours now!

Maximum number of bottles per household is six. We regret that this offer is available to UK readers only.
