About Highland Park

Highland Park is a whisky distillery. Highland Park 1998 20 Year Old Single Cask #2863 Discovery Selection Mini 5cl is an age-stated bottling at 20 years old, distilled in 1998.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1998), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Age statement

    A 20-year age statement signals extended maturation, which limits how much was ever bottled.

  • Single cask

    A single-cask bottling (cask 2863) comes from one strictly limited outturn rather than a large batch.

  • Non-standard format

    Bottled in a 50ml format rather than the standard 700ml, which sets it apart from the regular run.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
