A 12-year-old Highland Park single malt distilled in 2010, bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society as 4.358 under the name 'Salt-Baked Viking', in a 70cl bottle. Only 29 bottles were produced.
The whisky comes from a bourbon hogshead that was finished in another bourbon cask. At seven years old, selected casks from the distillery were combined and the malt was returned to a variety of casks to develop further; this is one of them.
The nose is delicately salty, with ozone, coastal wildflowers, beach pebbles and sooty coal hearths. The palate is saline and briny, with distant peat smoke, lanolin, mackerel and olives, and a preserved lemon in the aftertaste.
