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 18 Year Old, also known as "Viking Pride," is highly regarded for its depth and complexity, making it one of the standout expressions from Highland Park. This whisky is matured in a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, which imbue it with rich and distinctive flavors.
Nose:
The aroma is robust with notes of ripe cherries, dark cocoa, and a hint of Orkney's salty sea spray mixed with aromatic peat smoke.
Palate:
On the palate, it delivers flavors of cherries, dark chocolate, and marzipan, complemented by the sweetness of heather honey.
Finish:
The finish carries through the complexity with a continuation of sweet and smoky nuances, ending with a satisfying warmth that reflects its well-balanced maturity.
Awards:
Highland Park 18 Year Old has received multiple accolades, highlighting its exceptional quality. It was awarded a Gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge and has also received high praise in other major spirits competitions, solidifying its status as a premier single malt whisky.
