Highland Park ‘Sigurd’, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700 ml, 43% abv, Scotland (Island)

Predominantly matured in Sherry seasoned European oak casks, SIGURD is as big and bold as its warrior namesake – with rolling layers of flavour revealing notes of lemon peel, charred pineapple, cinnamon and lavender.

The Warrior Series is a collection of single malts created to showcase the very best of Highland Park. Each expression both introduces a key figure from Orkney’s Viking history and demonstrates how the flavours of Highland Park are influenced by cask type.

Description

Nose : Give it some time and gentle soft autumn fruits will greet you, a little like a harvest festival pudding with a sheath of corn next to it for decoration.

Palate : A fuller, more oily mouthfeel greets you introducing smooth and creamy fruits as if they’ve been stewed and covered in vanilla custard, with nutmeg over the top to spice it up a touch. Inviting with a hint of smoke.

Finish : Smooth and oily, but something in there keeping you refreshed. Sweet and decadent, yet balanced and not deeply into the winter fruits.
