Bedankt voor de tasting note.
Ik kwam dit stukje tegen van wat er nog in de pijplijn zit van Higland Park.
Highland Park Valkyrie / identity redesign
Highland Park redesigned its core range, inspired by the period in which Orkney was ruled over by Danish and Norse vikings. The bottles are now embossed with ornate decorations, still oval but wider towards the bottom, they have lots of metallic prints and they have a torque closure.
The new 12 Year Old, nicknamed Viking Pride, should arrive soon. The 18 Year Old Viking Honour will follow in July and the older expressions over the next year.
Then there’s also a new Highland Park Valkyrie which will replace the Dark Origins. It’s more heavily peated, bottled at 45,9% and available in a few weeks for around € 70. Valkyrie is the first edition in a new Viking Legends series, which will get two more expressions (Valknut and Valhalla) in the coming years.
Highland Park 15 Year Old will be phased out and will be replaced by a 100% bourbon cask expression called Highland Park Full Volume. It was distilled in 1999, bottled at 47,2% and will be around € 95.
Towards the end of 2017, we can expect a new Highland Park Magnus available in the US only. It’s matured in sherry-seasoned casks and ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 40% and around $ 40.
Later we will also get a follow-up to the Fire and Ice limited editions and a Highland Park 50 Year Old
