Highland Park Valkyrie Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL is a bold, Viking-inspired release from the Orkney Islands, crafted to highlight Highland Park’s smokier, more assertive side. Created with a higher proportion of peated malt and matured primarily in sherry-seasoned oak casks, Valkyrie delivers intensified flavor while maintaining the distillery’s signature balance and elegance.

Powerful yet refined, this single malt reveals layered notes of heather honey, dried fruit, orange peel, toasted oak, warm baking spice, and pronounced aromatic peat smoke. The peat is earthy and fragrant rather than heavy, integrating seamlessly with sherry sweetness for a long, warming finish. Valkyrie is an expressive, modern Highland Park bottling ideal for peat lovers and adventurous Scotch drinkers.
