Description:

Highland Park 15-Year-Old Viking Heart Peated Whisky is a premium single malt whisky from the Highland Park distillery on the island of Orkney, Scotland. The whisky is made from 100% malted barley, which is grown and malted on the island of Orkney. The barley is then peated, which is a process where the barley is exposed to smoke from burning peat, a type of moss that is abundant in Scotland. This imparts a distinct smoky, peaty flavor to the final product. The whisky is distilled in copper pot stills and aged for a minimum of 15 years in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks.

The Highland Park 15-Year-Old Viking Heart Peated Whisky is a medium-bodied whisky with a rich amber color. On the nose, it has a complex aroma of heather, honey, and smoke, with hints of fruits such as apple and pear. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced with flavors of heather, honey, smoke, and a subtle sweetness. The finish is long and warming, with notes of heather, smoke, and a hint of peat.

The whisky is non-chill filtered, which preserves the natural oils and flavors of the whisky. The whisky is bottled at 46.8% alcohol by volume, which allows the flavors to come through more clearly.

The Highland Park 15-Year-Old Viking Heart Peated Whisky is best enjoyed neat or with a small amount of water to open up the flavors. It pairs well with seafood, grilled meats, and cheeses and is a great addition to any peat whisky enthusiast collection.

In conclusion, Highland Park 15-Year-Old Viking Heart Peated Whisky is a high-quality whisky that offers a smooth and well-balanced flavor profile. Its complex aroma and rich flavors make it a great choice for those who enjoy peaty whiskey.
