Highland Park The Valhalla Collection 4x70cl

Description

Highland Park The Valhalla Collection Loki 48.7%, Thor 52.1%, Freya 51.2% and Odin 55.8% 4x70cl brings together all four limited Orkney single malts from this celebrated series. Released annually between 2012 and 2015, the collection was inspired by four powerful figures from Norse mythology.

Thor opened the collection in 2012 as a powerful 16-year-old bottled at 52.1%. Loki followed in 2013 as a smoky and unpredictable 15-year-old at 48.7%, before the lighter, bourbon-cask-matured Freya appeared in 2014 at 51.2%. Odin completed the series in 2015 with a dark and commanding 16-year-old bottled at 55.8%.

Together, the four whiskies explore remarkably different sides of Highland Park. Thor combines ginger, dark fruit and smoke; Loki introduces citrus, liquorice and heavier peat; Freya highlights tropical fruit, vanilla and white chocolate; and Odin delivers cherries, cocoa, spice and rich sherry-cask character.

Why Choose Highland Park The Valhalla Collection Loki 48.7%, Thor 52.1%, Freya 51.2% and Odin 55.8% 4x70cl

This complete collection provides the opportunity to experience every release in one of Highland Park’s most recognisable limited series. Each whisky has its own age statement, strength, cask profile and personality while retaining the distillery’s characteristic combination of sweetness and aromatic Orkney peat.

The four expressions can be tasted chronologically to explore the collection’s progression from Thor’s muscular balance through Loki’s unpredictable smoke and Freya’s lighter fruit before reaching Odin’s dark, sherry-rich conclusion. Taste each neat first, then add a few drops of water to reveal additional fruit, sweetness and spice.

The individually limited releases and Viking longship-inspired wooden frames provide exceptional display and collector appeal. Original production decreased with every edition, from 23,000 bottles of Thor to only 17,000 bottles of Odin.

Ideal For.

Ideal for serious Highland Park collectors, Norse-themed whisky enthusiasts and experienced drinkers seeking a complete tasting journey through fruit, spice, sherry richness and aromatic peat smoke.

Serve each whisky neat in separate tulip-shaped glasses before gradually adding water. The set pairs well with smoked salmon, dark chocolate, fruitcake, roasted nuts, mature cheese and spiced desserts.

Collector’s Note

A complete Valhalla Collection is considerably more desirable than an incomplete group because all four annual releases are present. Examples retaining every bottle and wooden longship frame offer excellent display appeal, while original individual outer boxes, when included, further improve completeness and collector interest.
