Taste note

  • Colour:

    Deep gold

  • Nose:

    a powerful nose with a kick in the face peat smoke, after this surprise you will notice some more delicate sweet aromas of pears and oranges, marmalade, sweet apple. Also hints of crème brûlée, toasted cedar wood.

  • Palate:

    From the strong and powerful peat nose the first sips will get you the same powerful smokiness but with delicate citrus notes, vanilla, apricot, peach flavors. In the background you will notice some burned wood, burned almonds, dark chocolate and dark spices( mostly cracked black peper)

  • Finish:

    Medium long with lots of smoke and peat on the finish. In the background vanilla, black pepper and burned wood.

  • Conclusion:

    One of Highland Park most seated whisky made. Highland park Valfather refers to Odin, the king of Norse mytholigy. it completes the Viking Legends trilogy from this distillery. This single malt is as powerful as Odin itself and if you love seated whiskies you need to try this one. Highland Park used a large proportion of their heavily plated malt in the production of this single malt. This is why its smells and taste smokey. More than we expect from Highland Park.
