Highland Park Einar Warrior Series (1L, 40%)
Released in 2013, Einar is part of The Warrior Series, a collection of single malts created for Duty-Free to both introduce a key figure from Orkney’s Viking history and to demonstrate the impact of cask type on our whisky’s flavour, which is immense.
Einar Sigurdsson was the joint Earl of Orkney from 1014-1020 along with two of his brothers, which he inherited after his father, Sigurd, died in 1014 at the mighty Battle of Clontarf. His own death came as his youngest brother, Thorfinn was coming of age to claim his share of the earlship. Einar’s greed and overbearing ways led to his being killed at the hands of Thorfinn’s foster-father. Thorfinn the Mighty, went on to become one of the most powerful of all the earls in Orkney.
The Warrior Series is a collection of single malts created exclusively for Duty Free to showcase the very best of Highland Park. Each expression both introduces a key figure from Orkney’s Viking history and demonstrates how the flavours of Highland Park are influenced by cask type.
Predominantly matured in sherry seasoned American and European oak casks, Einar boasts warm, intensely balanced flavours of zesty dried orange peel, vanilla pods and rich peat smoke.
