Newslink: Whisky Review: Highland Park Valknut

Highland Park, the venerable Orkney distillery, has slowly been rolling out its ever more Nordic inspired line of Scotch whisky bottlings over the last several years. The northernmost distillery in Scotland, it shares both a latitude and cultural history with the Nordic nations. Viking carvings dating back to the 12th century dot the islands, and Highland Park has increasingly drawn heavily from this history. The first in the “Viking Legend” series, Valkyrie, was a relatively well regarded, if nondescript, expression. No age statement is given with these bottlings; the emphasis is instead placed on the malt bill, which pushes the spirits in a decidedly youthful direction.
