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.
