Highland Park Valknut With 2 Viking Code Tumblers

Highland Park

30 Year Old 

Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A perfect expression of harmony, complexity and refinement, VIKING PRIDE combines honey sweetness with delicious hints of cherries wrapped in chocolate, and subtle top notes of aromatic peat smoke.

Matured for 17 years in European oak sherry seasoned casks for a distinctive, deep flavour.

Limited edition of 28,000 bottles only.

The whisky is presented in a bespoke bottle drawing inspiration from the ancient Norse sagas and an oak frame which has two circles etched on the top and bottom. This circles represent  the intense balance of the contrasting Orkney seasons and the influence they have on Highland Park whisky.

Tasting Notes

Colour: 100% refill Port wine seasoned casks result in a natural colour, resplendent glowing flames.
Nose: Vibrant and intense aromas of ruby red fruits and warm vanilla complement the fiery bitter sweetness of cinnamon bark and the smouldering richness of devilishly dark chocolate.
Palate: The palate bristles of light smoke with striking zesty dried peel and temperate vanilla flavour. Intoxicating spices and the sharpness of damsons entice and enchant your taste buds.
Finish: Intensely balanced, the long, lingering sweet finish magnifies into a sizzling fruity spiciness, providing a bewitching and standout whisky to enjoy.
