Highland Park Odin

Highland Park Odin

As they say, “never three without four”, at least in a quadrilogy, here is the Highland Park Odin. Succeeding Thor, Loki and Freya, this 16 year old whisky was released in a 17,000 bottle edition. At 55.8%, it is the most “sturdy” in this collection. Aged in sherry casks and Hogsheads of second filling, all dressed in black, it announces a different profile than the others. Different AND better? We see that with the tasting notes 😉

Highland Park Freya

Highland Park Freya

We’re staying in the Valhalla collection with the 3rd of the name … The Highland Park Freya 😀 This whisky spent 15 years in bourbon casks of first filling. With an alcohol level of 51.2%, this whisky was apparently first planned to be used in a blend before they finally found it too good for this. I was curious to see if this Nordic goddess would bring a feminine and different touch to the collection, let’s discover that 😉

Highland Park Loki

Highland Park Loki

Do you want to discover more of the Valhalla collection from Highland Park? Alright! After Thor, here is the Highland Park Loki 😀 Bottled at the strength of the barrel (48.7%), it is, like the rest of the collection, presented in an elegant wooden box figuring the bow of a viking ship. Is this one as good as his brother? Let’s discover this with the tasting notes!

Highland Park Thor

Highland Park Thor

Here are the tasting notes of one of my favorite bottles, namely the fabulous Highland Park Thor! First whisky from the Valhalla collection, followed by Loki, Freya and Odin (in this order). Highland Park has found the vein to tickle lovers of pretty boxes and, by the way, fans of Nordic mythology. I have to admit that I also bought this box as soon as it was released, without tasting it first… If I have regrets? Only one: not having bought 3 bottles at once

Highland Park 18yo (old version)

Highland Park 18 yo

Another famous distillery, among my favorites, Highland Park! People who moderatly appreciate peat should find their account with this whisky which is just moderatly peated. This Highland Park 18yo is a classic.
