Highland Park 10yo

10 year old single malt Scotch whisky from the Highland Park distillery on Orkney, presented in the heavily-Viking-inspired livery that was launched in 2017. This expression is normally found on mainland Europe, but it seems that some bottles have landed on our shores (presumably on some sort of longboat, considering all the Viking imagery connected to it).

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Subtle Sherry influence, but balanced by heather-y smoke.

Palate Ginger and waxy orange peel. Earthy peat with a another hint of Sherry sweetness buried underneath.

Finish Sea salt and heather once again. A few herbaceous hints of coriander leaf and crushed black pepper.

Reviews for Highland Park 10 Year Old - Viking Scars
My favourite
10 year old Viking Scar has been my favourite malt for some years. It's smooth, slightly fruity taste just appeals to me. A memorable time in Largs during a storm, my tent was trying to fly away, I stayed up all night hanging on to it and a bottle of Viking Scar to give me strength!
Sad to hear from HP that it is no more in production, I am trying to stock up.
Tried the 12 y.o. but really didn't like it.
Unless I find something to compare with it, I will have to give up malt!

Good for price
I am fan of highland whiskeys …. For the price point it’s very enjoyable and pleasant …. But would say for an extra few pounds the 12yr is the one to go for.

Rough caustic TCP smoky peat.
Rough caustic TCP smokey peat. Didn't like. Not as good as the 12 year old. Money wasted - there are better whiskeys for the price. Came close to pouring it down the drain - still might. Probably ok in a whiskey mac, but not really a straight sipping whiskey. Disappointed.

Smooth but interesting
I was bought this as a gift being unfamiliar with the brand. What a great surprise. Smooth. Good flavours and light complexity. I’d go again for sure.

Robust
I was given this as a present and have greatly enjoyed it. It’s slightly rougher around the edges than the 12 but has a different quality I can’t put my finger on. It may be sacrilege for a single malt but it does work well in cocktails, particularly a Whisky Mac

A good young upstart
I think I like this more than the 12 but not quite sure why. I like the saline element and the touch of smoke, tempered with a sweetness. It’s a little young but has something the 12 doesn’t that I can’t put my finger on.

For Cocktails !
Dunno why this 10 is more expensive than the “12”

Note that according to the folk in the Highland Park Distillery, this 10 YO is not simply a younger 12, it is blended differently for those strange souls who like mixing malt Whisky into cocktails and the like.

OK if that is your bag-but it ain’t mine !

Exquisitely enduring experience of magical mysteries!
Fantastic! One of the best malts I have ever tasted. It lingers upon the tongue spinning many more mysteries!

Much prefer more Sherried 12 to the 10
Tried 10 Yo and 12 Yo side by side in Kirkwall Hotel Whisky Bar. Noticeably different casking- not just an age difference.

Much preferred the 12 to the 10, the latter tasting half-way to a Burbon to me.

They also had the 15 Yo Cask Strength, @ £32 nip ! ( I bought a whole bottle for £230 at the HP Shop) and those were their cheap ones ! Some of the others would require a mortgage !

Smooth but disappointing
Relatively smooth but lacks any depth of taste. Rather than “peaty” it’s more compost. Bought for me as a gift but just can’t drink it.
