With only 225 bottles available globally–this whiskey is just as rare as it is expensive.
54 Year Old is the oldest whisky ever released by the distillery, and comes just as it is getting to celebrate its 225th anniversary. The distillery is located in Orkney, an archipelago in the far-flung northern reaches of Scotland. The core lineup is full of Viking imagery in tribute to the Nordic heritage of the region—names like Viking Honor, Viking Heart and Viking Pride anchor the range, with special editions popping up such as Valknut and Valkyrie.
This new whisky was distilled in 1968, as mentioned before, and was originally put into four refill sherry butts and six hogsheads. It matured in those barrels until 2008 when it was married together and refilled into first-fill European sherry butts for its final 14 years. “This exceptionally rare 54 Year Old single malt scotch whisky has been nurtured through careful maturation and harmonization,” said master whisky maker Gordon Motion in a statement.
Tasting notes describe a rich and deep whisky with peat and oak on the nose, followed by pistachio, cumin, rose, and a hint of kiwi on the palate. The bottle comes in a bespoke box made from Scottish oak, and includes an invitation for the buyer to come to Orkney to visit .
There are only 225 bottles of Highland Park 54 available globally, which seems awfully convenient given the approaching anniversary. Each is priced at $54,000 , and will be available at select retailers beginning this month. And, of course, you can find a bottle of Highland Park whisky aged for much less than 54 years at
