Strength doesn’t always shout. Sometimes, it beats quietly, like the steady rhythm of a Viking heart. Highland Park 15 Year Old Viking Heart is a tribute to Orkney’s ancient Norse soul, bottled in a weighty ceramic decanter that feels as timeless as the whisky inside. Matured in sherry seasoned casks and kissed by aromatic peat, this dram embodies boldness, balance, and a legacy of fearless craftsmanship.

Brand: Highland Park | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 44% | Origin: Orkney, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Fragrant peat drifted with heather smoke, stewed pears, crushed walnuts, and warm vanilla sponge, sweet, smoky, and softly floral.

Finish: Long and layered. Gentle smoke fades into honeyed oak, orange peel, and a trace of salty sea breeze.

Production Details
Matured predominantly in first fill European and American oak sherry casks, Viking Heart draws its complexity from cask richness and Orkney peat. The use of a ceramic decanter, created in partnership with Wade Ceramics, adds both visual heft and protection against light, a nod to Highland Park’s attention to legacy and detail.
