Conclusion:
Highland Park's King Christian I was originally released for the Travel Retail Market as part of their Warrior Series. Beautifully presented in a teardrop decanter (along with a silver cradle, as teardrops aren't too good at standing up by themselves), this expression was drawn from a combination of refills hogshead and butt casks. Only 300 bottles were produced.
