Highland Park is a renowned single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland. It is one of the few distilleries that still uses a traditional malting floor, where malted barley is physically turned by hand. This labor-intensive process contributes to the distinctive flavor of their whiskies. Highland Park is also known for its use of local peat, cut from Hobbister Moor, which imparts a unique heathery peat character to the whisky.
Highland Park 10 Year Old, also known as "Viking Scars," is a single malt Scotch whisky that embodies the spirit and tradition of its Orkney origins. This whisky is matured predominantly in European and American sherry seasoned oak casks, which contributes to its rich and vibrant flavor profile.
Nose:
The aroma offers a subtle Sherry influence which is well balanced with heather-y smoke, creating a layered sensory experience.
Palate:
The taste features a blend of ginger and waxy orange peel notes, coupled with earthy peat. Underneath these dominant flavors, there is a hint of Sherry sweetness, adding complexity and richness.
Finish:
It finishes with notes of sea salt and heather, with herbaceous touches of coriander leaf and crushed black pepper, providing a refreshing and prolonged aftertaste.
