The Archived
Here we revisit old rarities, classics and other Highland Park creations. These whiskies are no longer made, and most are effectively sold out, but you may discover one in a specialist shop or whisky auction. In a way, this page could be the beginning of your journey to digging up an old Highland Park treasure.
