✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the wind-swept Orkney Islands, Highland Park's 'Loki' is the second legendary release in the highly coveted Valhalla Collection. This 15-year-old single malt pays homage to the Norse trickster god, reflecting his shape-shifting, unpredictable nature through a complex flavor profile. Distilled at one of Scotland's northernmost distilleries, where Viking heritage runs deep, this expression is crafted using hand-turned Orcadian peat and aged in a combination of traditional Spanish sherry casks and heavily peated casks. The result is a dramatic sensory journey that morphs from sweet, citrusy notes of dried bitter orange peel to dark, spicy cloves, before dissolving into a mischievous, lingering smoky finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Highland Park blev grundlagt i 1798 i Kirkwall på det afsidesliggende Orkney-øhav og er et af Skotlands mest traditionsrige og nordligst beliggende single malt-destillerier. Destilleriet, som i dag er ejet af Edrington Group, værner kompromisløst om det klassiske whiskyhåndværk; her praktiserer man fortsat traditionel gulvmaltning med håndkraft og høster tæt, lyngmættet tørv fra den nærliggende Hobbister Moor. Modningen foregår primært på udsøgte sherrytilsmagte egetræsfade i Orkneys kølige, vindblæste kystklima. Dette enestående samspil mellem terroir og håndværk skaber Highland Parks verdensberømte signaturstil, som udmærker sig ved en elegant aromatisk tørverøg, en cremet sødme af lynghonning og dybe, komplekse krydderitoner.
