Description

Highland Park 15 Years Old Viking Heart

To create 15 Year Old Viking Heart, Gordon Motion, the Highland Park Master Whisky Maker, selected predominantly sherry seasoned European oak casks to deliver warm, spicy notes and sherry seasoned American oak casks to provide a balance of sweet vanilla. Expertly adding just a few refill casks to soften and smooth the flavours, Gordon chose to bottle at 44% ABV to allow the whisky’s vibrant fruitiness and distinctive heathery peat smoke to shine through.

TASTING NOTES

Colour
Natural colour – light golden, clear and bright

Nose
Rich and spicy aromas of crème brulée, heather honey and crumbled cinnamon, intensely fruity notes follow, fresh pineapple dressed with a scattering of sun-kissed lemon zest. There’s a hint of freshly-baked sponge cake too, warm from the oven, and you’ll find cinnamon again, but toasted shards this time. Citrus and vanilla notes linger in the aromatic waves of peat smoke.

Palate
Toasted cinnamon shards, mellow peat smoke, warm vanilla sponge cake, sun-kissed lemon zest, fresh pineapple and heather-rich honey.
