Highland Park 14 Year Old Viking Soul Cask #500170 For Aingeal Alexander, An Neach-Dion

Highland Park 14 Year Old, bottled as ‘Viking Soul’ from cask #500170, originates from the northernmost distillery in Scotland, steeped in a history tracing back to 1798 and a former illicit still. This single malt gains its distinctive character from a unique combination of sherry cask maturation and the subtly peated malt, utilizing Orcadian peat that imparts a delicate heathery sweetness. The whisky spent twelve years maturing before a final two years in 40L sherry seasoned firkin casks, resulting in a robust 55.8% ABV spirit. Expect a complex and rewarding taste profile, reflecting the wild landscapes and rich heritage of the Orkney Islands.
