The 15 year old Viking Heart single malt from Highland park is a wild harmony of toasted cinnamon shards, mellow peat smoke, warm vanilla sponge cake, sun kissed lemon zest, fresh pineapple and heather honey.

Why a ceramic decanter? Rewind a century or two and their whisky would have been stored in earthenware vessels. Inspired by examples found at their distillery in Orkney, they asked Wade Ceramics if they could work with them to create a modern version. Established in 1810 and based in Stoke-on-Trent in England (known globally as the traditional home of ceramics) Wade share Highland Parks commitment to environmental responsibility, focusing on sustainable manufacturing and using locally sourced raw materials. The lead-free porcelain decanter is 100% food safe, glazed inside and out, and embossed with the lion and serpent design that appears on many of their glass bottles. Look closely at the back of the bottle and you’ll find the heart motif that inspired this whisky’s name.
