Highland Park 12 Year Old “Viking Honour” Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL — The Balanced Orcadian Peat Malt
🏔️ Some whiskies chase smoke.
Highland Park 12 Year Old seeks balance.
Crafted on the remote Orkney Islands, Highland Park 12 “Viking Honour” is a whisky defined by harmony — where gentle heathered peat meets honeyed malt and sherry-cask warmth. Rather than overwhelming intensity, this expression focuses on elegance and drinkability, making it one of the most approachable introductions to lightly smoky Scotch whisky.
Matured in a combination of European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks, the whisky layers subtle smoke with sweetness and spice, creating a profile that feels classic yet versatile.
Aroma: Heather honey, orange zest, soft smoke and gentle baking spice.
Palate: Smooth and rounded — sweet malt, vanilla, light peat, dried fruit and balanced oak.
Finish: Medium length, warming and lightly smoky, fading with honeyed sweetness and soft spice.
This is not a whisky built to overpower with peat.
It’s for drinkers who appreciate balance — where sweetness, smoke and sherry influence coexist in harmony.
Serve neat or add a few drops of water to reveal more floral honeyed notes.
Sip slow. Find the balance.
