Tasting Notes and Comments by Highland Park:

A dynamic and masterful example of Highland Park at its most accomplished, Thorfinn embraces all that is great in our revered single malt whisky. Intricately balanced, yet bold in its intentions; complex swathes of gentle peat smoke meet with wonderful notes of rich caramelised dried fruit, alongside an unctuous oakiness. Like its namesake, this is undoubtedly a whisky of supreme refinement and influence.

The great chief Thorfinn, also known as ‘The Mighty’, was a man of much power and inspiration, at one stage controlling the whole of the Orkney Islands.

After saving the people from the harsh rule inflicted by his brother Einar, Thorfinn is still celebrated for bringing change to the islands and his legacy lives on through this highly exclusive and exceptional release.

Nose
Cedarwood, camphor, mango, coriander, spicy smokiness and vanilla pods.
Taste
Very complex, ginger root to the fore followed by smoked oak.
Finish
Complex lingering spiciness and smoke.
