Highland Park Thor 16 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

This is the first bottling in Highland Park's Valhalla Collection that pays homage to Orkney's Scandinavian connections. Named in honour of Thor, the Norse God of Thunder and supposed creator of the Cliffs of Yesnaby on Orkney's west coast. 23,000 bottles of this beautifully presented HP were released, this one from a private collection. The wooden frame is styled after the prow of the viking longboats.

Other reviews... According to the marketing folk at Highland Park, Thor represents the first coming for Highland Park's stunning Valhalla Collection; a range of four unique whiskies, released annually, taking inspiration from the legendary Nordic gods of old. Not for the faint hearted, only those brave enough to accept the challenge of Thor shall be rewarded with the ultimate experience; a whisky of divine power. The whisky is 16 years old and, taking the extremes of presentation just a little further, Thor is housed in a unique wooden frame, which echoes the fearsome contours of a traditional Viking long ship. Sherry, spices, wood smoke, vanilla, and a squeeze of lemon on the complex nose. The palate is spicy, with peaches and cream, sherry, and bonfire smoke. The finish is lengthy, with ginger, aniseed and yet more peat. 52.1% ABV. 4 stars
