The Viking Legend series is a collection of special-edition bottlings made to highlight the journey to Ragnarök, the battle at the end of the world. The 3 are Valkyrie (a smoky, rich and aromatic bottling that was matured in predominantly European sherry seasoned oak), Valknut (a woody, smoky and spicy expression aged in American sherry seasoned oak and crafted from Orkney’s tartan barley) and now Valfather.
Valknut is the second in this series. It was crafted by Gordon Motion, our Master Whisky Maker. Valknut has intensely balanced flavour – matured predominantly in American oak with a slightly higher percentage of peat, compared to Valkyrie, which enhances its sweeter notes. It also uses a small amount of locally grown Tartan barley which adds to its smokier edge.
