Description
Founded in 1798 on the wind-swept Orkney Islands, Highland Park remains one of the few distilleries in Scotland to maintain traditional hand-turned floor maltings. This 10-year-old expression, nicknamed Viking Scars, pays tribute to the distillery’s Norse heritage and the rugged landscape of its home. A defining characteristic of this dram is aromatic peat hand-cut from Hobbister Moor; this heather-rich peat gives a delicate, floral smokiness that distinguishes the spirit from its Islay counterparts. It is a superb choice for anyone looking to buy whisky in South Africa, offering a lighter, more vibrant introduction to the Orcadian house style.
- Nose: A subtle sherry influence balanced by heathery smoke.
- Palate: Ginger and waxy orange peel, with earthy peat and a hint of sherry sweetness beneath.
- Finish: Sea salt and heather, with herbal hints of coriander leaf and cracked black pepper.
To fully appreciate the layers of this premium whisky in South Africa, we recommend serving it neat or with a splash of water to open up the floral aromas. Whether you are a seasoned collector or new to peated malts, you can enjoy reliable liquor delivery across South Africa from Decanter Liquor when you order this island staple online.
