Highland Park
Scotland
Single Malt
Highland Park's Valhalla Collection concludes with Odin, named for the ruler of Asgard - a wise, powerful god who sacrificed an eye to drink from the Well of Wisdom, fathered Thor and rode around on an 8-legged horse. Really. A horse with 8 legs - the only steed the Furious One needs.
To match the personality of the All father of the Norse gods, Highland Park's Odin is an intense, powerful 16 year old single malt Scotch whisky, matured in first-fill Sherry casks and refill hogsheads, presented at 55.8% ABV.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
I enjoyed Odin, it's quite spicy initially ending with by a mellow peat while still remaining sweet throughout. It doesn't feel like a 55.8% drink, more around the 50% level would be my guess if I didn't already know. This is my favorite expression out of the Valhalla Collection, followed by Thor, then Loki and lastly Freya.
What an utter disappointment. This just goes to show that funky packaging and marketing does not make a good malt. I'd rather have a decent honest malt sold in a cheap plastic bottle! Aside from the packaging, there is nothing to recommend this malt. It smells so sweet and tastes far too sweet and bland. Odin would be furious to have this poxy malt attributed to him. You're far better off spending your money on 6 bottles of the 12 year Highland Park than this nonsense.
