Highland Park 16 Years Old
Odin
Odin, Allfather of the Norse Gods and ruler of Asgard, Odin possesses an intensely complex character. Often known as 'The Furious One', not only is he fierce and furious in battle and feared more than any other Gods, he is also driven by an unquenchable thirst for wisdom.
By sacrificing an eye for a drink from the Well of Wisdom, he earned immeasurable knowledge and insight. With only one eye which blazes like the sun, Odin cuts an ominous figure.
Dramatic horns protrude from Odin's helmet representing his ravens, Huginn and Munin. To further feed his desire for knowledge, the birds faithfully circle the Nine Realms every day, bringing back secrets and news from across Odin's domain.
Odin is deep, complex, and often requires considerable reflection much like this final release in the Highland Park Valhalla Collection. 'Odin' represents a single malt Scotch whisky of the formidable and commanding father of all Gods and is deserving of its place at the top of this distinctive collection of whiskies.

The Macallan might be the jewel in the crown of Edrington, but a close second is Highland Park, especially after the brand investment, it has received in recent times. Established in 1798 by David Robertson on the outskirts on Kirkwall on Orkney, history suggests the site was used for illicit distillery way before this official date. In a landscape shaped by nature, ravaged by Vikings and the tides of war, Highland Park manages to bring everything together. A historical whisky that is universally appreciated, offering a little bit of something and famously called an ‘all rounder’, from locally sourced peat to a welcoming rugged characteristic. Highland Park doesn’t need the branding to stand out from the crowd. An increasingly varied core range can seem bewildering to someone new, so start with the 18 year old and being your voyage.
