- Description
- Highland Park's Valkyrie, the inaugural release in the Viking Legend series, sits between the 10 and 12-year-old expressions with added richness and aromatic complexity from the inclusion of heavier Orkney peat and warming spice notes. Bottled at 45.9%, it maintains approachability while delivering the full character promised by the Viking positioning. The emphasis on heather-rich peat and aromatic spice gives this entry point into the new series a distinctive identity separate from the core range. A gateway expression for those new to Highland Park seeking something more robust than the standard 12-year-old.
