Highland Park 12 Year Old 'Viking Honour'

Highland Park 12 Year Old 'Viking Honour' is a benchmark single malt Scotch whisky produced at the Highland Park Distillery in the Orkney Islands. Matured predominantly in sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, it balances warm heather honey sweetness, rich fruitcake, and gentle oak spice with the distillery's signature subtle, aromatic Orkney peat smoke.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, roasted pork, aged cheddar cheese, dark chocolate, or grilled scallops.

Tasting Notes : Glowing amber gold with a smooth, well-rounded, and medium-bodied mouthfeel.

Nose : Heather honey, rich fruitcake, subtle cocoa, fresh citrus peel, and gentle aromatic peat smoke.

Palate : Sweet honeyed malt, warm dried fruit, orange peel, winter spices, vanilla, and soft heathery smoke.

Finish : Medium-to-long, clean, and gently sweet with lingering notes of wood smoke and subtle oak spice.

Serve : Serve neat at room temperature, with a few drops of water to open the aromas, or over a large ice cube.
