Highland Park 10 Year Old Viking Scars / unpackaged / 40% / 0.7l
- Highland Park 10-year-old Viking Scars is a junior member of the legendary Orkney whisky family, matured for a decade in European and American oak sherry casks.
Product description
The new visualization is inspired by the period around 800 AD, when Orkney was ruled by Vikings from the kingdom of Denmark and Norway, and especially by wooden carvings from that time decorating a church in the Norwegian village of Ormes. The new bottle is decorated with a scene from Norse mythology, in which a lion defeats a dragon representing the forces of evil. As we read in the press release, only the presentation and name of the whisky change, not its character. Thus, Highland Park 10-year-old is Viking Scars, 12-year-old Viking Honor, and 18-year-old Viking Pride. We present here the 10-year-old version.
Nose: fruity, with notes of sea breeze and peat, oranges, peaches, lemon peel, heather honey, vanilla and a trace of wax.
Taste: mild with a light breath of the sea, apples, grapefruit, garden herbs, salted nuts, traces of pepper and ginger and subtle notes of vanilla.
Finish : medium long, vanilla, caramel, some peat smoke and ash and delicate nutty notes.
