Highland Park 54 Year Old

The Highland Park 54 Year Old is a 54 year old single malt Scotch Whisky and an especially rare release that was available from specialist outlets globally from mid-February 2023. Only 225 bottles have been created, by Highland Park Master Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion. The Highland Park 54 Year Old consists of a bespoke embossed bottle containing the 54 year old whisky, a beautiful presentation box crafted from the finest Scottish oak wood, and an invitation for the buyer to attend a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Orkney.

As a manufacturer, Stoelzle Flaconnage were privileged that this exciting project came to them. The bottles were carefully crafted by their skilled glassmakers with new moulds needed for this special container. The glass was then sent to France for polishing and then back to the UK for hand graving with fine silver paint.
