Highland Park 8 Year Old / Bot.1970s Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Olivia Park — Beautiful but hard to justify the price

7/10

I split a dram of this at a tasting event and it was lovely — soft heather smoke, orange peel, a bit of beeswax on the nose. Drinking it neat you get this old-school island character that modern HPs just don't have anymore. But £900 for an 8 year old is steep no matter how old the bottle is. I'd buy it at half that without blinking.

Oscar Delgado — A proper time capsule

9/10

Got this as a birthday gift and honestly it's unlike any modern Highland Park I've tried. The sherry influence is so well integrated — dried fruit, a touch of peat smoke, and this gorgeous honeyed sweetness that just lingers. At 40% it's gentle but there's real depth here. Worth every penny if you're into vintage bottles.
