Highland Park 18 Year Old - Viking Pride
Unfailingly Excellent
Highland Park is the most northerly distillery in Scotland on the Orkney Islands. Legend has it that it was founded by Whisky smuggler Magnus Eunson in the late 1700s and that he used his position as a church officer to conceal Whisky beneath the church pulpit. Don’t assume that “Highland Park” means their Whisky is made in the Highland style. In character, their spirit is closer to a midpoint between Lowland and Islay Single Malts. Perhaps the most famous Whisky connoisseur of all time — journalist Michael Jackson — called Highland Park, “The greatest all-rounder in the world of Malt Whisky.”
Highland Park's 18 Year Old enjoyed a redesign in 2017, receiving livery inspired by the wood carvings from Urnes Stave Church and a new sub-name, "Viking Pride". The Orkney single malt remains the same as before - rich, complex and supremely delicious.
It was named as 'Best Spirit in the World' by F Paul Pacult of the Spirit Journal. Unfailingly excellent, especially after a good meal.
Pacult wrote: 'After 25 years' experience, it fits my profile of what makes a perfect whisky, which is to say it's totally in harmony, there are no rough edges and everything is melded together brilliantly.'

The Highland Park 18 years old Viking Pride whisky is a creamy and full-bodied liquid, exuding the flavors of fruit conserves and espresso. Its palate offers a delightful creaminess with a hint of cinnamon and allspice, accompanied by notes of toffee and black forest honey. The long finish is well-balanced, sugared with a subtle herbal edge, making it a fine choice for those seeking a sophisticated and flavorful whisky experience.

Creamy and fruit palate showcases a harmonious blend of fruit conserves, espresso, cinnamon, allspice, and a hint of citrus. The long sweet finish with herbs is pretty remarkable.
