Highland Park 18 years has become the first Scotch whisky to be inducted into the Spirit Journal Hall of Fame.

The hall of fame was created by Spirit Journal editor F. Paul Pacult, in recognition of brands that have consistently exhibited extraordinary quality over the course of numerous Spirit Journal reviews.

One of only five inductees, Highland Park is also the only spirit to be awarded the prestigious Best Spirit in the World, receiving the accolade in both 2005 and 2009 for its 18-year-old single malt.

It will now be officially ‘retired’ into the hall of fame to take its rightful place in the history of the world’s finest spirits.

Pacult said of Highland Park and the four other spirits inducted into the hall of fame: “Among the scores of superlative spirits that have received five stars in the journal, these five have come to represent distillation and production at their finest. These spirits are bona fide icons.”

The Spirit Journal, a quarterly publication, was established in 1991 and is widely acknowledged as the most trusted newsletter on spirits, wine and beer in the US.

It does not accept advertising and as such it claims to offer unbiased reviews and ratings.

Highland Parkis imported, marketed and distributed in Maltaby Farsons Beverage Imports Co. Ltd, a memberof the Farsons Group.
