For this 1989 Highland release, seven hogsheads and two butts were brought together after 30 years of maturation, producing 2,064 individually numbered bottles. The whisky was bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and without colour adjustment, preserving the character of this mature sherry-cask parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArchive Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product images carefully.
