Description
Viking Honour is the heart and soul of Highland Park reflecting the unique culture of the remote island. The distillery describe the 12 Years Old as "intensely balanced single malt - a perfect harmony of aromatic smoky peat and the flavours of sweet heather honey and rich fruit cake. Smooth, full and rounded it's a whisky that truly stands apart."
