About Highland Park

Highland Park is a whisky distillery. Highland Park 1989 35 Year Old Cadenhead’s In the Courtyard 20cl is an age-stated bottling at 35 years old, distilled in 1989.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1989), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Considerable age

    A 35-year age statement reflects long maturation and the small surviving volume that implies — older stock is scarcer.

  • Named / limited release

    Released as courtyard, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.

  • Independent bottling

    An independent bottling by cadenhead, typically produced in far smaller numbers than an official distillery release.

  • Non-standard format

    Bottled in a 200ml 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.
