HIGHLAND PARK 16 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 16 years old | ABV: 40% | Region: Islands - Orkney | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Condition: traces of mold on the bottle | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper box | Estimate: 2 000 - 3 000 Kc | Distillery | Highland Park is an iconic Scottish distillery located in the Orkney Islands, in the town of Kirkwall. Its history dates back to 1798, although the circumstances surrounding its creation are shrouded in myth. The foundation is attributed to either the well-known smuggler and priest Magnus Eunson or the farmer David Robertson. The exact details are disputed, but the distillery's official gate bears the year 1798 as the beginning of its history.The distillery did not gain its real stability and development until the second half of the 19th century, when it was first owned by William Stuart (proprietor of Miltonduff), and then James Grant, former manager of the Glenlivet Distillery. Under their leadership, the distillery was expanded and became an important part of the Scotch whiskey industry.In 1937, Highland Park became part of Highland Distillers, which is now part of the Edrington Group (which also includes The Macallan in its portfolio). Highland Park whiskey first appeared on the market as a single malt in the 1970s in an 8-year-old version, but in the 1980s the packaging underwent a redesign (and then several other modifications) when 12-year and 18-year versions were introduced. The distillery soon gained a strong, almost cult-like fan base, and its offerings are constantly expanding. In addition to the main line of aged whiskeys, various limited editions have been released, inspired by the history of Orkney and Norse mythology. | Bottle | Highland Park Aged 16 Years is a single malt whisky released as a special edition for travel retail, making it unavailable in mainstream stores.

Just three members of the Royal Naval Air Service received exchange-George Crosses. A.M. London Gazette 18 June 1918: ‘The King has been pleased to award the Albert Medal to Acting Flight Commander Paul Douglas Roberston, R.N.A.S., in recognition of his gallantry in endeavouring to save life in February last. The circumstances as follows: On the 28th February 1918 a Seaplane got out of control and spun to the ground. Acting Flight Commander Robertson, the Observer, jumped from the machine just before it reached the ground and landed safely, as the ground was marshy. The Pilot, Flight Lieutenant H. C. Lemon was imprisoned in the Seaplane, which, on striking the ground, immediately burst into flames, and notwithstanding that the vicinity of the Seaplane was quickly a furnace of blazing petrol, and that heavy bombs, a number of rounds of ammunition, and the reserve petrol tank were all likely to explode, Acting Flight Commander Robertson returned and endeavoured to extricate the Pilot, and only desisted when he had been so severely burned in the face, hands and leg that his recovery was for some time in doubt. He displayed the greatest gallantry, self-sacrifice and disregard of danger in his efforts to extricate the Pilot.’ C.B.E. London Gazette 1 January 1944. Paul Douglas Robertson was born at Willesden, Middlesex on 30 April 1891, the son of a Master Mariner and Marine Superintendent, a profession that led to young Paul being educated in London, Jamaica and Australia. In August 1907, he followed his father into the merchant service, when he became an indentured apprentice to George Thompson & Co. Ltd. and he subsequently qualified for his certificates of competency as Second Mate and First Mate. But the advent of aviation and the progression of war persuaded him to change direction, and, in October 1915, he was commissioned in the Royal Naval Air Service as a Temporary Probationary Flight Sub. Lieutenant. Having then taken his aviator’s certificate (No. 2454) in a Grahame-White Biplane at R.N.A.S. Chingford on 9 February 1916, he was posted to the seaplane base at Calshot. In January 1917, he transferred to R.N.A.S. Killingholme in North Lincolnshire, from whence he would have flown patrols over the North Sea; his service record notes him as having attacked an enemy submarine on 27 June 1917, ‘results unknown.’ Then in February 1918, on being promoted to Acting Flight Commander, Robertson took command of the Hornsea Mere Sub. Station in Yorkshire. It was in this capacity that he teamed-up with Flight Lieutenant Hubert Lemon for a patrol on the 28th, their Large Seaplane taking off at 1647 hours but, when at 2,500 feet, it ‘spun to the ground and burst into flames’; his service record refers. His bravery on that occasion, in attempting to rescue the pilot from the blazing wreckage of their aircraft, led to an Admiralty recommendation for an Albert Medal in Bronze, although it is said that other members of the relevant committee considered that ‘a recommendation for the Gold Medal could have been justified.’ The extent of the burns to his face led to the loss of his left eye but he was able to attend an investiture at Buckingham Palace on 31 October 1918. Roberston obtained a regular commission as a Flight Lieutenant in the newly formed Royal Air Force and gained steady promotion in the inter-war period, being appointed a Group Captain in July 1939. His appointments in the Second World War included a tour of duty in Canada 1940-42, including service as the Operations Station Commander at R.C.A.F. Patricia Bay, Vancouver Island, B.C., and, on his return to the U.K., command of the R.A.F. Station, Squires Gate, near Blackpool, for which he was awarded the C.B.E. He had earlier been mentioned in despatches (London Gazette 2 June 1943, refers). Placed on the Retired List in December 1945, Robertson settled in Cornwall, and he exchanged his Albert Medal for the George Cross in 1972. Following the death of his wife, he emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand, where he died in August 1975. Sold with a quantity of original documentation, including his Federation Aeronautique Internationale (British Empire) Aviator’s Certificate (No. 2454), with portrait photograph, dated 9 February 1916; a photograph album of mainly Second World War interest, including career notes, images from the recipient’s visit to the wreck of the Tirpitz in 1945, and pasted down mention in despatches certificate, dated 2 June 1943; a presentation programme for the 10th reunion of old Squire’s Gate personnel, October 1955, and an album containing numerous watercolour pictures by the recipient, including still life and nautical subject matter.
