Highland Park 'Viking Heart' 15 Year Old
Regular price $165.00
Limit of 1 bottle per household
To create 15 Year Old Viking Heart, Gordon Motion, Highland Park's Master Whisky Maker, selected predominantly sherry seasoned European oak casks to deliver warm, spicy notes and sherry seasoned American oak casks to provide a balance of sweet vanilla. Expertly adding just a few refill casks to soften and smooth the flavours, Gordon chose to bottle at 44% ABV to allow the whisky’s vibrant fruitiness and distinctive heathery peat smoke to shine through.
Why a ceramic decanter? Rewind a century or two and our whisky would have been stored in earthenware vessels. Inspired by examples found at our distillery in Orkney, we asked Wade Ceramics if they could work with us to create a modern version.
Nose: Rich and spicy aromas of crème brulee, heather honey and crumbled cinnamon. Intensely fruity notes follow - fresh pineapple dressed with a scattering of sun-kissed lemon zest.
Palate: Hint of freshly-baked sponge cake, warm from the oven, with toasted shards of cinnamon.
Finish: Citrus and vanilla notes linger in the aromatic waves of peat smoke.
