The Highland Park 20 Year Old 1998 Discovery Selection Release No.1 is the inaugural bottling in the distillery's exclusive Discovery Selection, originally available only to Highland Park Inner Circle members. This rare miniature offers the opportunity to experience one of the Orkney distillery's most sought-after single cask releases in a collectible 5cl bottle.
Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2019, this exceptional single malt was drawn exclusively from Cask 2863, a first-fill, sherry-seasoned American oak butt that spent two decades maturing in Warehouse 12 at Highland Park's Kirkwall distillery. Bottled at its natural cask strength of 57.9% ABV, it is a superb example of Highland Park's signature balance of rich sherry influence, aromatic peat smoke and vibrant spice.
The Discovery Selection was created to offer Inner Circle members access to exceptional single cask bottlings that showcase Highland Park's distinctive character and long maturation. As the first release in the series, this bottling holds particular appeal for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Presented with its original commemorative pin badge, this miniature is a rare collectible and an excellent opportunity to sample an exclusive Highland Park single cask release.
