Description

According to legend, Vikings who met a fine and honourable death were marked out by the symbol of the VALKNUT and spirited away from the mortal world to the heavenly realm of Valhalla. Highland Park VALKNUT is the second in a series of three VIKING LEGEND releases.

Created using a higher proportion of local peated malt and predominantly matured in sherry seasoned oak casks to give this whisky its smoky, sweet flavour

VALKNUT means ‘knot of those slain in battle’ and its symbol of three interlinked triangles appears on numerous artefacts from the Viking Age. The symbol is closely associated with the Norse god, Odin, who guided the spirits of the dead to the underworld (Valhalla) and back to the world of the living and is believed to represent the transition from life to death or the connection between earthly life and heavenly life.

VALKNUT is an intensely balanced whisky with an ABV of 46.8%. It’s been matured predominantly in American sherry seasoned oak casks with a slightly higher phenolic level, compared to Valkyrie. They’ve also used a small amount of Orkney grown Tartan barley which adds to its smokier edge and lingering sweet, spicy finish.

Norse mythology tells of the VALKYRIES, Odin’s female servants, who combed the battlefields for the bravest fallen warriors. Vikings who met an honourable death were marked out by the symbol of the VALKNUT and spirited away to Valhalla to join Odin’s mighty army and prepare for Ragnarok, the battle of the end of the world.
I know one thing which never dies: the reputation of each dead man.
Poetic Edda, Hávamál, verse 77
