I am more than happy that HP does offer new limited releases once and a while, whether they have age statements or not and the Viking themed marketing behind them doesn't bother me either, HP is produced on an island with a clear Viking connection and if associating the whisky with the islands Viking past helps promote and sell it, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. In all honesty I've not done my homework, and correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like they are just slapping another Viking-like word on a new bottle!

Add the totally optimised whisky production methods of today and you know that Macallan or others just could not hold up the dark bottlings they were famous for. Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. Tasted all that you mention except of course the new Viking Tribe and I couldn't fault one of them, also had some of the now discontinued NAS travel retail range such as Einar and Svein which were both very good and the Highland Park Sigurd which was superb. Admittedly Harald and Dark Origins NAS whiskies were not great but I wouldn't call them poor.

On one hand, it’s good for new drinkers to try, as it offers a different style, and it’s not outrageously priced. On the other hand, there are other whiskeys or spirits in the same or with a similar price point to try.Its introduction to the distillery’s range follows last year’s complete brand overhaul, which saw the introduction of several new expressions. I’m not going to waste anymore time on this. Viking Honour (VH)? I don’t see the honour in parading the diluted and chopped-up corpse of this formerly quality single malt, so I’m going to compare the previous iteration of Highland Park 12 with the Highland Park 12 Viking Honour. It isn’t a perfect comparison, though, as the previous iteration has a higher ABV. Highland Park 12 – review The thing people often don’t realise is sherry is made through a solera system so those casks are very rarely sold on. The article’s view is that until the early 80’s, sherry was transported in barrels to the UK, these are what we called sherry casks and were used in whisky. When that practice stopped, people started buying barrels and seasoning with sherry instead to try and get the same flavour.

Seasoned casks on the other hand and that means not only sherry casks is a cheap way to procure the covetted kind of casks. In no way, they could neither keep the quality nor deliver the quantity – they could have spared us the marketing spin, though.We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.
