Highland Park 12 Year Old Viking Honour

The twelve-year-old malt from Highland Park, in the Orkney Islands, known for its balance between sweetness and smoke. It uses local peat, rich in heather, which gives an aromatic, soft smokiness, and matures in sherry-seasoned casks. The result combines heather honey, dried fruit and delicate smoke. It is one of the most complete malts in its price range and a good midpoint between gentle and peated styles.
