Founded in 1968 by Silvano Samaroli, it built its reputation on single casks released in extremely small quantities, chosen with a rigour that turned each selection into a reference point for collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Highland Park was distilled in 1968 at the historic distillery on the Orkney Islands and bottled in 1998 to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the house. Thirty years of maturation in a single ex-sherry cask, number 11169, yielded just 296 bottles, drawn from one cask and supervised personally by Silvano Samaroli. The result is a profile of ripe fruit, honey, sweet spice and noble wood, with the delicate peat that defines Highland Park, held together by three decades of slow evolution in sherry oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the bottle consequential is the coincidence of three factors that rarely meet: a distillation from the late 1960s, a single cask with a declared number, and an anniversary bottling linked to one of the most influential figures in the history of independent whisky. Old Samaroli selections are followed in the specialised auction circuit and documented in the reference databases, where this edition is recorded with an average score of 91.50\/100 on Whiskybase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58188166824276,"sku":"4657","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/samaroli-highland-park-30.png?v=1794002712","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/samaroli-highland-park-30th-anniversary-1968-1998","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
