Highland Park 12 Year Viking Honour 750 ml
About this bottle
Distilled on Orkney since 1798, Highland Park 12 Year Viking Honour is a single malt Scotch built on sherry-seasoned European and American oak and the island's own heathery peat. The distillery cuts its peat from Hobbister Moor, and it burns floral rather than medicinal — the reason the smoke in this whisky drifts instead of dominates. Expect heather honey and orange peel up front, dried fruit and gentle winter spice beneath, and a long finish where the smoke finally steps forward. The US bottling arrives at 86 proof, full enough to hold its shape in the glass yet easy to drink slowly. A first serious Scotch for the bourbon curious, and a shelf staple for everyone who already made the trip.
How to drink Highland Park 12 Year Viking Honour
Neat is the classic call, but it's gentle enough for a splash of water if you want the honey to open further. A solid first stop for a bourbon drinker easing into peated Scotch.
