Med rødderne solidt plantet i den nordiske mytologi, kommer her den første aftapning fra Highland Park i deres ny serie der hylder verdens skabelse.

Ifølge nordisk mytologi består verden af ni rige, den første aftapning i denne nye serie hedder Highland Park Ice Edition og repæsenterer det koldeste rige Niflheim, tågernes rige. Highland Park Ice Edition er 17 år gammel, modnet udelukkende på First fill Bourbonfade. Hele herligheden leveres indpakket i en flot trækasse udformet som et isbjerg.

Hvad siger Highland Park om whiskyen:

According to legend, the ice realm, Niflheim, is the homeplace of darkness, cold, ice and frost. The first Ice Giant, Ymir, was born at the beginning of time when the edge of the realm melted from the heat of the neighbouring fire realm, Muspelheim, and he is the first creature mentioned in Norse creation mythology.

As Ymir slept, he gave birth to the Jotun family, a race of powerful Ice Giants standing at over 20 feet high and known as the Gods of Creation. When they shook, fought or sneezed, it caused earthquakes!

GLACIAL PACKAGING

The bottle is designed to bring to life the dazzling ice realm, with blue-tinted glass and a sharp, faceted shape. The front of the bespoke bottle features a Norse symbol representing the creation of the world, which they believed was protected by a serpent, Jormungandr, biting his own tail. Encased in a mountain-shaped wooden cradle, the whole design reinforces the links to the Ice Realm and its mythology.

THE WHISKY – 53.9% ABV
This 17 year old single malt has the classic Highland Park flavour dynamic, similar to Freya in the Valhalla Series.

TASTING NOTES
A radiant whisky, natural in colour with mirror-like brightness. Up-front, vivid aromas of cool, fresh pineapple and mango sorbet give way to silvery shards of smoke and the frosty kick of root ginger. Like the Ice Giants themselves, the palate is powerful yet smooth, misty peat smoked inter-twined with vanilla seeds. A beautifully balanced finish, with lingering woodiness and spices.
