Highland Park

The second release of the Viking Legends series from Highland Park is the 'Valknut'. This whisky has been produced using a higher proportion of local peated malt, as well as a combination of sherry seasoned European and American oak casks and ex bourbon casks. There are notes of toasted vanilla pods, cracked black pepper, oak shavings, cloves, aniseed, and aromatic peat smoke.

Distilled at the most northerly distillery in Scotland, Highland Park remains one of the best examples of the Island style. Notes of heather honey sweetness are joined with a malty flavour and exotic stewed fruits. A thread of heather-tinged peat smoke and a lip-smacking salinity cuts through in the finish. A true Scottish classic.

Situated on the Orkney Isles, Highland Park is Scotland's most northerly distillery. This 18-year-old from Highland Park provides melted toffee and marzipan notes in tandem with some of the classic light smoke and heather-honey associated with the distillery. A classic staple when it comes to Scotland's coastal distilleries.

From a combination of 20 sherry seasoned European oak casks, first fill bourbon barrels and refill casks, all selected by master blender Gordon Motion, this 25 year old Highland Park brings you all the classic Orkney magic. The nose is rich, heather honey, zesty marmalade and herbs. Stewed fruits enter the palate accompanied by ginger, caramel fudge, BBQ smoke and fresh sea spray, an old and exceptional Highland Park. This is the 2019 Spring Release, laid down to mature from 1994 and earlier.
