The 12 year old Viking Honor Highland Park whisky reflects the heart and soul of the Orkney Islands in Scotland from which it comes. It's a single malt with sweet aromatic notes of honey, citrus fruits and herbs with a smoky, balanced and soft aftertaste on the finish.
The Highland Park distillery is the most northerly distillery in Scotland in Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands linked to the legendary figure of Magnus Eunson, a Protestant pastor by day and night whiskey distiller, who founded it in 1798 respecting the ancestral Viking traditions. Even today in this renowned distillery, considered by many to be the most traditional of all Scotland, the malting of barley is done by hand and the barrels are kept in stone warehouses, wet and fresh, as it was 200 years ago. The peat of the Orkney Islands used for the drying of malt, gives that sweet floral fragrance typical of peat artisan Highland Park whisky and its “terroir”.
Respect for these ancient traditions gives the Highland Park 12 whisky its unique smoky and sweet aroma, as well as the cold climate of these Scottish islands and the presence of sea salt in the air, combined with aging in ex sherry oak barrels contribute to its great richness and complexity on the palate. The color is amber, and the fruity notes on the nose enhance the taste with a long finish of smoke and peat.
