Highland Park 15 Year Old "Viking Heart" is a rich, complex single malt scotch whisky from Orkney, bottled at 44% ABV and housed in a distinctive ceramic bottle. It is primarily matured in sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, offering a palate of crème brûlée, heather honey, cinnamon, and fresh pineapple with a lingering, gentle, aromatic peat smoke.
Key Characteristics and Tasting Notes
Flavor Profile: The whisky is noted for being lively, spicy, and fruity, featuring notes of toasted cinnamon, baked sponge cake, lemon zest, and heather-rich honey.
Smoky Influence: The 15-year-old features a soft, aromatic heather peat smoke rather than a harsh, bonfire smoke.
Texture and Finish: It has a relatively oily, smooth texture with a medium-to-long finish that is warm and spicy.
Maturation: Primarily aged in first-fill sherry-seasoned European oak, supplemented by sherry-seasoned American oak and some refill casks to balance the sweetness and spice.
Presentation: The whisky is packaged in a special ceramic bottle produced by Wade Ceramics, designed to look like the traditional earthenware vessels used to store whisky centuries ago
