Distilled 1977, bottled 1998, re-released 2008. Bottle 02499. 40% ABV. The story goes that a few hundred bottles were found in a Japanese warehouse, flown back to Scotland and repackaged.
From the Highland Park website:
The Repatriation bottling comes in a bespoke oak box the embellishment of which follows classic Japanese graphic form. The front of the box features an outline of Japan as well as 1977 depicted in Japanese characters. The use of red as an extra colour is typically Japanese. The interior of the box features a design adapted from a traditional Japanese wave pattern. The design is embellished with Japanese characters that spell out the words Highland Park. The bottle has then been wrapped by hand in specially printed Japanese washi paper, a reference to the wrapping paper which was the original inspiration of the French Impressionists, and the Japanese characters depict 1977. ABV: 40%
