Highland Park Ice Edition 17 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Situated just a few miles north of Scotland's mainland, the Orkney archipelago was occupied by a number of different nomadic and belligerent tribes for centuries. In 875, however, the islands were annexed by Norway and settled by the Norse, who began using the archipelago as a base for Viking raids across Europe. In 1468, the islands were pledged by King Christian I of Norway as a dowry to James III of Scotland, and since then, the islands connection with Scotland has been perpetual. Highland Park Distillery is situated in Kirkwall — the capital of the Orkney islands — and was founded in 1798 by Magnus Eunson. The name of the distillery is derived not from the region of Scotland known as The Highlands (the Orkney islands are not a part of The Highlands) but rather from the region known as High Park, where the distillery was founded. Highland Park Odin is the final of four releases in the Valhalla Collection available from Highland Park Distillery.
Tasting Notes
The whisky itself is straw gold in color with an aroma of baked pineapple, honeyed graham cracker, grated ginger, and campfire smoke. Notes of baking spice and tropical fruits appear on the palate over a layer of smoke, and lead to an earthy finish.
