Highland Park 12 yo

[portwood]

Does anyone know when this version of the HP 12yo was bottled?

[C57]

That looks like a 90's bottling to me

What was the final year for this packaging?

I think that was the bottle design in place when Edrington took over in late 1999.

HP were still issuing that style of bottle in 2000 but the next design had appeared by early 2001.

Thank you.

The bottle code is L0078Y 29:02:10:14
This probably means early 2000

Received an email from Edrington confirming the bottle date as Feb 29, 2000

A leap year bottling. Are they collectable?

[portwood]

I didn't notice that - good catch.
Collectible or not, seems like a good choice to open Feb 29, 2012

It's always good when we get confirmation of a bottling code from a distillery.

HP reckoned they improved the 12 with the latest edition. It will be interesting to hear what you think if you can compare them.

These bottles typically make around £50-70 at auction now. Retail prices are typically higher, WE has one in for £100 at the moment.
