THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT NORDIC HEROES.
I mean there is a reason Thor is popular. Beyond Chris Hemsworth’s biceps and golden locks, our favourite viking god of Norse mythology was a bad boy turned good, becoming worthy of Mjölnir. Highland Park whisky embodies this spirit of boldness. Founded in 1798, Highland Park’s location on windswept Orkney makes it the northernmost distillery in Scotland. But like a bad boy distillery, it wasn’t until 1826 that a license was granted for lawful operations. And ever since, Highland Park has been the whisky with a viking soul.
Even today, the island distillery underscores its north-of-the-law heritage with vaguely Nordic branding and reminders of its illicit past. Shaped not only by the remote location and wild climate but also by the Vikings who settled on Orkney over 1,000 years ago, the Highlander DNA runs strong in what we can honestly declare as “Whisky crafted in the old way by a new generation of Vikings.”
