Highland Park 'Orkney 17' 2005 Signatory Vintage 17 Year Old Cask Strength #16 One of 631 bottles. Signatory Vintage were established in 1988 by Andrew Symington and are one of Scotland's most prolific independent bottlers. Their offices and bottling facility are located next to Edradour distillery, which they have also owned since 2002. This Highland Park was distilled on 7th May 2005 and aged in single first-fill Oloroso sherry butt DRU17/A63 #16 for 17 years. It was bottled at cask strength in January 2023. Highland Park was built by David Robertson all the way back in 1798. The distillery's relationship with blenders, Robertson & Baxter, saw it acquired by Highland Distillers in 1937, who were subsequently bought by Edrington in 1999, who run it today. The modern Highland Park single malt brand was first officially bottled in the 1970s, with the release of an 8 year old age statement, but distillery bottlings first appeared around the 1950s. The look of the brand has changed many times over the years, but its cult following and popularity has never diminished. It remains one of the most recognisable single malts in the world to this day.
