18 Year Old image
Highland Park 18 Year Old
Named by the American whisky expert, F Paul Pacult, as 'Best Spirit in the World' (Spirit Journal), 18 Year Old Viking Pride is our most highly-awarded single malt whisky, being honoured with both a Gold and an Ultimate Recommendation (with a score of 96) in the 2021 International Spirits Challenge. Matured in a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, this superb 18 Year Old single malt pays tribute to our five keystones of production and presents a sophisticated medley of ripe cherries dusted with bittersweet cocoa, freshly harvested honeycomb and candied orange peel. There's a whisper of Orkney's salty seaspray in the aromatic peat smoke. We've been crafting our award-winning whisky at the Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney, since 1798. Age, experience and respect for tradition may define our whisky, but it's Orkney that sets it apart. Something magic happens here and the result is the wild harmony of flavours found in our whisky.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Aroma of ripe cherry, cocoa nibs, and campfire smoke with floral notes.

Finish: Rich, long and luxurious finish with hints of espresso and smoke.
Talisker Distillers Edition
The Talisker Distillers Edition, an annual release that is double matured for up to 6 months in ex-amoroso sherry casks, achieves bitter-sweet harmony as its crisp peat softens, not to pepper, but to rich, sweet, juicy fruit. An older, richer and sweeter expression that makes a fantastic gift for whisky connoisseurs and lovers of the Talisker family of smoky island single malt whiskies. Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillers Edition 2020 distilled in 2007, bottled in 2017.
