More Highland Park scoop

Yesterday we talked about some information from Edrington (courtesy of John Hansell) about the cancellation of the Highland Park Single Cask program.

Today, I'm the one with the inside information from Highland Park.

I've been told that they plan to do a 21-year old specifically for U.S. airport duty free shops. Finally, a reason to put your toiletries in a damned plastic bag.

Also, the 40 year old Highland Park, which you may have heard rumors about, will be out in February 2008.

UPDATE: Although the 40 will be released in February, it's not due to hit the US until Summer 2008.

Hi,

Where you can see the boxdesign of the upcomming Highland Park 21, also included is the suggested bottle-design for Highland Park 40.

Kind regads

Thanks Lars.
That 40 year old bottle is VERY nice. (Though I'm sure SOMEONE will say it looks like a perfume bottle :))

Personnally I think the design of the bottle is irrelevant. I think the design is fantastic. It brings back the original design of the locals back when. Bottom line the scotch it fantastic. Mark@liquoroutletwinecellars.com
