The heart and soul of Highland Park, Viking Honour 12 Year Old is a perfect harmony of aromatic smoky peat, sweet heather honey and rich fruit cake.
Viking Honour reflects the unique culture of our remote island home here on Orkney. Part of Scotland yes, but originally belonging to a vast Viking kingdom. At Highland Park, we honour the spirit of our Viking ancestors, sharing their pride, integrity and fierce independence, and we distill our award-winning whisky to the same exacting standards introduced in 1798 by our founder, Magnus Eunson, a descendant of those early Viking settlers.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Floral honey and underripe pears, pithy orange, just a hint of Sweetarts candy, spiced fruitcake, subtle peat and smoke.
TASTE
More floral honey and tart citrus, spiced fruitcake is there as well, and it’s joined by slightly bolder, earthier peat and smoke notes.
FINISH
Medium-long. Tart citrus and cinnamon and sugar fade early leaving that tannic oak, baking spice and earthy, heathery peat and wispy smoke to linger.
