Highland Park Valfather

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. 

This final bottling 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’s hall. It was bottled at 47% ABV without any additional colouring.
