This is a wonderfully rich and complex single malt. Opening with rich and spicy aromas of cr?me brulee, heather honey and crumbled cinnamon, intensely fruity notes follow - fresh pineapple dressed with a scattering of sun-kissed lemon zest. There?s a hint of freshly-baked sponge cake too, warm from the oven, and you?ll find cinnamon again, but toasted shards this time. Citrus and vanilla notes linger in the aromatic waves of peat smoke. To create 15 Year Old Viking Heart, Gordon Motion, Master Whisky Maker, selected predominantly sherry seasoned European oak casks to deliver warm, spicy notes and sherry seasoned American oak casks to provide a balance of sweet vanilla. Expertly adding just a few refill casks to soften and smooth the flavours, Gordon chose to bottle at 44% ABV to allow the whisky?s vibrant fruitiness and distinctive heathery peat smoke to shine through. Why a ceramic decanter? Rewind a century or two and whisky would have been stored in earthenware vessels. Inspired by examples found at the Highland distillery in Orkney, they created a modern version. 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 the Highland Park glass bottles. Look closely at the back of the bottle and you?ll find the heart motif that inspired this whisky?s name.
