Highland Park, Viking Heart, 15-Year-Old, Island, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (44%)

Description

This 15yo whisky from Highland Park’s core range shows perhaps the lightest touch of oak. One delicious consequence of this is an unencumbered vibrancy, that stems from the heather-derived peat used to malt the barley. Whilst this whisky is far from the smoke-soaked monsters of Islay, it might be about as primal as this marvellous Orcadian distillery gets. Those vibrant flavours, coupled with touches of dried fruit, make for an utter delight alongside oily fish dishes.

About this spirit

Highland Park Distillery, Orkney

Highland Park, one of only 2 distilleries in the Orkney Isles, was founded in 1798 by Magnus Euson, and is the world's most northerly distillery. Until it was licensed in 1825 it's production was illicit and Euson was assisted in evading the excisemen by a kinsman who was a Kirk elder and hid the contraband under the pulpit. By the 1880s Highland Park had an established reputation and at one time both the King of Denmark and the Emperor of Russia declared it to be the finest whisky they had ever tasted.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
