Highland Park Ragnvald The Warrior Series Single Orkney Malt Whisky 44,6%

Ragnvald was the Viking age's great traveller — a sailor, explorer and trader who brought spices, fabrics and gemstones home from across Europe. Highland Park has given him a whisky that, like the man himself, holds more layers than first expected.

Expert Description

Highland Park Ragnvald The Warrior Series is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky matured in a combination of European and American oak and bottled at 44.6%.

Ragnvald was one of the Viking age's most well-travelled figures — a skilled sailor and explorer whose trading voyages brought exotic spices, textiles and gemstones back to Orkney. The whisky balances the best of European oak with a smaller share of American oak, giving a rounded, spiced profile.

Ragnvald is part of The Warrior Series and was originally created for Global Retail, though a limited number of bottles have found their way to the Danish market.

Ripe damsons, oriental spices, candied peel and a touch of night-scented stock.

Finish

Complex and lingering, with gingery spice and a calm smoke.
