Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling Thor is the first of four new annual releases by Highland Park as part of their new Valhalla collection, a range of unique whiskies that take their inspiration from the legendary Nordic gods of old.
Aged for 16 years and bottled at 52.1% abv, Highland Park Thor is a limited release of 23,000 bottles worldwide.
"Not for the faint hearted, only those brave enough to accept the challenge of Thor shall be rewarded with the ultimate experience; a whisky of divine power" - Highland Park website.
Nose: Concentrated and forceful, with an explosion of aromatic smoke, pungent fresh ginger, antique copper, stewed plums, and golden syrup. With water, earthy notes emerge, like a garden after a heavy rain shower.
Palate: Thor’s high strength grabs the palate and refuses to let go. Initially dry, with fiery gingerbread then vanilla, blackberries, fresh mango, peach and hints of cinnamon. As its big flavours swirl around the mouth, some softer, sweeter notes develop, giving Thor and unexpected layer of complexity and depth.
Finish: The finish thunders on, leaving behind lingering notes of sweet vanilla and an intense spiciness.
