Highland Park Scotch Single Malt 18 Year Viking Pride 2018

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 97 points - Bold and impressive nose of heather honey, nougat, cocoa nibs, smoke, and stewed cherry. Malted chocolate titillates the tongue, with a kick of peat smoke pleasantly drying out the palate before hints of salted almond butter and coffee liqueur come forward. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Chairman’s Trophy).April/2018

Wine Enthusiast 96 points - Opening aromas are of sea breeze, cigar smoke, oak and malted barley; air contact releases light caramel, fudge, cocoa bean, burnt candle wick and heather. Entry is the most complex of any whisky; midpalate soars on oak, spirit and grain tastes. The greatest distilled spirit of this generation. Buy whatever you can find. - P.P.
