Taste note

  • Colour:

    Gold

  • Nose:

    A powerful nose with a kick in the face peat smoke, after this surprise you will notice some more delicate sweet aromas of pears and oranges, marmalade, sweet apple. Also hints of crème brûlée, toasted cedar wood.

  • Palate:

    From the strong and powerful peat nose the first sips will get you the same powerful smokiness but with delicate citrus notes, vanilla, apricot, peach flavors. In the background you will notice some burned wood, burned almonds, dark chocolate and dark spices (mostly cracked black pepper)

  • Finish:

    Medium long finish with lots of smoke and peat on the palate. in the background vanilla, black pepper, and burned wood.

  • Conclusion:

    One of Highland Park most peated whisky made. Highland Park Valfather refers to Odin, the king of the Norse Gods. It completes the Viking Legends trilogy from the distillery. This single malt is as powerful as Odin its self and if you love peated whiskies you need to try this one.
    Highland Park used a large proportion of their heavily peated malt in the production of this single malt. This is why it smells and taste smokey. More than we expect from Highland Park.
