Highland Park
Scotland
Single Malt
The third release in Highland Park's The Valhalla Collection is the Freya, a 15 year old single malt Scotch whisky named after the Norse Goddess of Love. Wise, sensitive and with a magical cloak of feathers that creates the Northern Lights above Orkney, Freya was a valiant protector of human souls.
To match her personality, Highland Park have created a suitably sensual and delicious whisky with a hint of Orkney smoke to bear the Freya name.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Chamomile, orange, papaya, leather strips, grapefruit, peach, pine, pear skin, cardamom, fruity smoke and a touch of heather. White chocolate and freeze-dried strawberries.
Woody and fragrant pear. Starfuit too. Smoke, orange peel and proper Turkish delight.
Smoky with a hint of tin, drying at full strength. Apricot and spices.
Freya, 'The Fair One', Goddess of Love - seductive, subtle, each sip leaves you wanting just a little more.

It is a fine Scotch. However, placing a fair-good Scotch in a bottle with a fancy wooden holder does not justify the cost. Do yourself a favor and buy 4 bottles of HP Dark Origins instead and be treated to a much better tasting Scotch.
Great cask strength whisky. Too bad the price is so high. Smooth whisky with lots of character.
This one was a bit of a surprise. Very 'clean', fresh profile, refreshingly fruity and almost smokeless before adding some water which brings the peat out more. I rather liked it but would only buy a bottle at ½ the price since qualitywise this is a match for HP18 rather than the kind of bottles you can find at €150 and beyond.
