Highland Park 15 Year Old Viking Heart Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
Highland Park 15 Year Old Viking Heart marks the return of the distillery's 15 year age statement, reintroduced in 2021 after the original 15 year was discontinued in 2016. Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion selected primarily sherry-seasoned European oak casks for richer, spicier tones, paired with sherry-seasoned American oak for sweet vanilla balance, plus a small proportion of refill casks to soften the profile. The whisky is presented in a striking ceramic decanter crafted with Wade Ceramics of Stoke-on-Trent, a nod to how whisky would have been stored in earthenware vessels centuries ago at Highland Park's Kirkwall, Orkney home.
Bottled at 44% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural color, the nose brings crème brûlée, heather honey, buttered sponge cake, and orchard fruit, layered with cinnamon and gentle heather peat smoke. The palate is velvety and balanced, delivering honey, vanilla, pineapple, and sponge cake with mellow peat, finishing long and fruity with light smoke, vanilla, and nutmeg.
Distilled at Highland Park, the world's northernmost Scotch whisky distillery and one of only a handful still operating a traditional malting floor, this expression showcases the brand's signature heather-driven peat in one of its most refined, balanced forms, making it a strong pick for collectors and Highland Park fans looking to step up from the 12 Year.
