Halrald Considered, intelligent and undoubtedly regal, this whisky shows not only an inner balance but also an assertive oaky side, combining a generous proportion of both American and highly prized European oak casks. Celebrated through this release, King Harald was famed for his army, which was revered across the world at that time. The most feared of his troops were known as 'berserkers'. Described as intrepid heroes, they carried bloody shields used for hacking through their enemies. Such was the importance of the shield in growing King Harald’s global influence that it adorns the packaging. Harald requires a certain dedication and loyalty, rewarding followers with a full bodied palate of sumptuous sweetness, spice and focused oak. Tasting Notes: Appearance: Dark golden, clear and bright Nose: Vanilla, ginger root, peat smoke, dried strawberries and sandalwood Palate: Victoria sponge, grated nutmeg with a hint of lavender Finish: Complex and spicy with hints of peel The Warrior Series is a range of six single malts whiskies showcasing the very best of Highland Park. Offering a spectrum of flavours but grounded in Highland Park’s gently smoky but surprisingly sweet character, the palate experiences a full flavour journey from start to finish, beginning with lighter vanilla and citrus flavours and moving to more complex, richer and sweeter flavours. Highland Park has strong Viking roots and this is celebrated throughout the collection. Uniting legends and characters famed for their battle skills, The Warrior Series brings Highland Park’s dramatic heritage to life in a vivid and innovative way. Svein Einar Harald Highland Park er fremstillet på verdens nordligste destilleri på de legendariske Orkney Øer. Highland Park opføres I 1798 på netop de øer, som efter sigende havde tilhørt en kendt whiskysmugler. Smugleren Magnus Eunson nød godt af en stærk position inden for kirken, og kunne derfor passe sin sidegeschæft i al uforstyrrethed. Hvem ville mon finde på at søge efter den forbudte vare under prædikestolen? Highland Parks unikke karakter skyldes den tørv, der anvendes som brændsel ved tørring af kornet. Netop denne tørv har i århundreder absorberet salte bølger, og afgiver et lyngagtigt anstrøg til whiskyen. Whiskyen lagres på egetræsfade i mindst 12 år. Lidt efter lidt modnes whiskyen og den fyrige smag mildnes og whiskyen opnår en usædvanlig blød karakter. En varsom og tidskrævende proces som garanterer, at denne whisky når sin perfektion. Michael Jackson, forfatter til mange kendte bøger om whisky beskriver Highland Park som "the greatest all-rounder in the world of malt whisky" Se en video med Daryl Haldane fra Highland Park.
