Highland Park Valknut Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL is a powerful, Viking-inspired release from the Orkney Islands, crafted to showcase a darker, richer, and smokier side of Highland Park’s signature style. Part of the Viking Legend series, Valknut is matured primarily in sherry-seasoned European oak casks and bottled at a higher strength, delivering bold intensity while maintaining balance and elegance.

Deep and commanding, Valknut opens with layers of heather honey, dark dried fruit, orange peel, toasted oak, espresso, warm baking spice, and assertive aromatic peat smoke. The elevated strength amplifies texture and flavor, resulting in a long, smoky, and richly spiced finish. Designed for peat-forward Scotch lovers and collectors, Valknut offers a dramatic, immersive Highland Park experience.
