Highland Park 12 Year Old - Viking Honour Whisky 70cl

Highland Park is a household name, but I don’t remember ever trying their whiskey.
It’s a typical Scotch whiskey, I would say, a bit smokey, a bit sweet, maybe warmer than usual, but nothing above its price.

I felt the need to counter the rather stupid previous review, from someone clearly more stuck on the Viking theme than the taste. Highland Park is a great whisky, taken for what it is, the lower end of the market, this the 10 and 12, are all easy drinking, lower priced entry level samples from this great distillery, there is some peat, a bit of spice and a lovely fresh sweet note, the flavour is long and lingers on the palate, yes it’s only 40%, drink it neat of with a tiny splash of water only

Thin with a bit of peat and a hint of honey... but mostly watery cardboard.

Cheap for a reason, it's rubbish.

Your money goes on a stupid marketing trip about vikings or something. The vikings left Orkney a thousand years before H.P. showed up.
