Highland Park 12 Year Old Viking Honour Scotch Whisky 750ml
$149.00 $126.65
Highland Park Scotch Whisky reflects the unique culture of our remote island home here on Orkney. Part of Scotland, yes, but originally belonging to a vast Viking kingdom. At Highland Park, we honor the spirit of our Viking ancestors, sharing their pride, integrity, and fierce independence, and we distill our award-winning whisky to the same exacting standards introduced in 1798 by our founder, Magnus Eunson, a descendant of those early Viking settlers. Natural cask-driven color. Glowing amber color. Heather honey, rich fruitcake, winter spices, Seville oranges, and aromatic smoky peat flavors.

Highland Park 12 Year Scotch Whisky spectacular expression had a full-on Viking make-over in 2017, dubbed Viking Soul (the 18 Year Old is also getting a redesign, too). Stylish new livery and matching sub-name (Viking Honour) aside, the Orcadian single malt remains the same – delicious as ever!
Nose:
Fresh, clean, and very aromatic. Floral notes abound the senses with a light grassiness. Notes of creamy Manuka honey and a touch of juicy citrus with cream and a well-balanced sweetness.
Palate:
Rather full with a pleasant depth. Lurking somewhere in the substratum a grilled orange lies. Notes of granary toast and green tea with jasmine. A touch of sweetness.
Finish:
Quite long with peppery spice and wood shavings.
