Highland Park Thor
Highland Park Thor
A new single malt from Highland Park, Thor is the first of a new range that supposedly harks back to the Viking roots of the Orkney Islands’ population.
This 16 year old single malt is the first of four planned releases in the Valhalla range, although there has been a blended whisky that was for duty free sale only called Viking. (See a theme developing?).
The bottle comes packaged in a special wooden box which is designed to resemble a Viking longboat, and no doubt adds to the price of the whisky. However as you can see from the photo at the top it is a particularly striking design.
At 51.1% it is somewhat stronger than your average single malt but the marketing describes it as “an explosion of aromatic smoke, fresh ginger, golden syrup and stewed plums”. (Their words not mine).
You can buy it direct from Highland Park or at the The Whisky Exchange
