Highland Park Valfather Bottling Note<\/h3>\n
\n

The final bottling from the Viking Legend series, Valfather was named after the Norse god Odin. It’s the most peated whisky to date from Highland Park, a style designed to mimic Odin’s power. Valfather was matured in refill casks in order to balance the peatiness and also because the brand supposedly wanted to mirror the ethereal and lighter feel of Valhalla, Odin\u2019s hall. It was bottled at 47% ABV without any additional colouring.<\/p>\n

Danish designer Jim Lyngvild returned to help create the distinctive packaging, the inspiration of which was the ancient picture stones from Stora Hammars in Gotland, Sweden.<\/p>\n

Tasting Note:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Nose:<\/b>\u00a0Robust, but refined smoke fills the nose initially followed by delicate vanilla, Conference pears, green apple skins and a heady, heavy floral richness. Underneath there\u2019s cedarwood, honeycomb, spice from black pepper and nutmeg, as well as salted caramel before the heathery peat makes itself known. A sprightly sea breeze note emerges with time.<\/p>\n

Palate:<\/b>\u00a0Simultaneously huge and yet elegant, the palate is beautifully integrated. Layers of creamy vanilla, apricot yoghurt and a helping of cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e interplay with notes of incense burners, iron and salted almonds. Then there\u2019s bitter orange marmalade, charred wood and dried earth among touches of cacao powder, toffee apples and smoked paprika.<\/p>\n

Finish:<\/b>\u00a0Long and confident. The floral smoke lingers for an age but is offset by tropical fruit and black pepper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
