Highland Park's 15-Year-Old Viking Heart Scotch whisky is a rich single malt with golden colour and complex aroma. Opening with rich and spicy aromas of crème brulée, hemp honey and crumbled cinnamon, intensely fruity notes follow - fresh pineapple with a scattering of sun-kissed lemon zest. A hint of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake and toasted cinnamon make the taste experience even more special.
To create the 15-Year-Old Viking Heart, first-fill European oak sherry seasoned casks were chosen to deliver warm, dry, spicy notes, while first-fill American oak sherry seasoned casks provide a balance of flavours with sweet vanilla and crème brulée notes. Lastly, the refill casks allow the DNA of Highland Park whisky to shine through, namely its gentle heather peat and lightly fruity character.
The drink arrives in a special bone-white ceramic decanter. The traditional packaging is made from sustainable materials, with an environmentally friendly process. The decanter is made of lead-free porcelain, glazed inside and out, which draws even more attention to the embossed design of the lion, snake and the Viking heart.
The process of making Highland Park whiskies is unchanged since 1798 and is based on 5 keystones: aromatic peat, hand-turned floor maltings, sherry seasoned oak casks, cool maturation and cask harmonization. No other distillery uses all five keystones. Highland Park is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest single malt brands in the world. They have the northernmost distillery in Scotland, located in a wild and fascinating region with Viking roots on the main island of the Orkney Islands, Kirkwall.
