About Highland Park Freya 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Highland Park distillery was founded by Whisky smuggler Magnus Eunson in 1798 and legend has it that he used his position as a church officer to conceal Whisky beneath the pulpit to keep it out of sight of interfering governmental types. What we do know for sure is that Highland Park is the northerly most distillery in Scotland — sitting way out on the island of Orkney in the far North Sea, just below the Arctic Circle. It’s as close to Iceland as it is to London.
Because the name is “Highland Park,” it may be easy to think that means their whisky is made in the Highland style. But it’s quite different. In character, their spirit is closer to a midpoint between Lowland style and peated Islay single malts. And it’s signature style and dedication to superior quality keep it broad range of whiskies in high demand. In fact, spirits journalist and whisky legend Michael Jackson called Highland Park, “The greatest all-rounder in the world of malt whisky.”
Highland Park Freya was the third in a four-part Valhalla Series of limited edition single malts named after Norse deities — this one released in 2014. It’s a lightly peated and delicate dram aged fifteen years in ex-sherry casks. Freya was the Norse goddess of love, beauty, gold, and war. Highland Park obviously took the naming seriously, delivering a golden-hued dram with a luscious palate and lovely, complex flavor profile. But do not sell this goddess short… at 51.2% ABV it’s a powerful dram.

About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
Aroma of white chocolate and tropical fruits. Notes of sweet fruit, oak spice, ginger, chili peppers and salted caramel dominate the palate. Hints of earthy smoke, minerals, toffee apples and honey on the finish.
