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.
Valkyrie is the first in Highland Park's Viking Legend series in partnership with Danish designer Jim Lyngvild who can trace his lineage back to Viking times. It's made with approximately 50% fully peated stock (Highland Park's peated floor malt is usually mixed with unpeated malt that's bought in at a ratio of 1:4 before mashing), but of course with Highland Park this means Orcadian peat and classic heather smoke notes.
This edition offers a smokier Highland Park experience, but the smoke is still balanced. Highland Park Valkyrie received a score of 99 Points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, making it an "Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation".
