Description

Highland Park in Kirkwall, on the Orkney Islands, is one of the northernmost distilleries in Scotland. It still floor-malts part of its barley and dries it with local peat, rich in heather and low in wood, which gives an aromatic, sweet smoke. Its whiskies mature mainly in European and American oak sherry casks. The 18 Year Old, Viking Pride, is one of the most respected single malts in the world.

Matured for 18 years in sherry casks and bottled at 43%, it shows heather honey, red berries, peat smoke and orange on the nose. The palate is rich and dense, with honey, peat smoke, dark chocolate and spice. The finish is very long, with peat smoke, heather honey and oak.

A generous, enveloping after-dinner whisky. Serve it neat in a nosing glass and add a drop of water to open the aromas. It pairs with dark chocolate, nuts, fruit cake and aged cheeses.
