Highland Park Freya

Matured in ex-Bourbon hogsheads with new heads, this third release in the Highland Park Valhalla series is lighter than the other two, and more delicate. More limited than the first two releases, it is not expected to last long! 51.2% From the Distillery: "For the third release in the acclaimed Valhalla Collection, Highland Park has turned its attention to the mesmerising Norse Goddess of Love, Freya. Continuing the tradition of reflecting the character and qualities of the Norse Gods in the whisky itself, Freya’s intriguing allure and feisty personality has inspired a full, rich and complex single malt with a lingering beguiling finish." Andrew's Tasting Note: "Nose: very Bourbonny and toasty with loads of coconut and marzipan, some coffee notes and nutty liqueurs; some dry grassy malt, melons and lemon sorbet; Palate: very honeyed, more melon and lemon sorbet with some crisp malt and clean floral smoke; more coconut and marzipan with juicy orange and gentle heathery peat; Finish: light, clean and subtly decadent with more honey, soft fruits and clean smoke."
