Loki, is the second bottling in Highland Park’s Valhalla series. This limited edition single malt scotch is named for Loki, the Norse God of mischief or fire or both. He may not even be a full God, his status has been debated for many years. He is also a shape-shifter, for all you True Blood fans. What does this have to do with Whisky?
Gerry Tosh, Global Marketing Manager, says,
“While everyone will recognize the definite ‘Highland Park-ness’ of this 15 year old single malt, it will be the unexpected and surprisingly smoky dynamics that will really get palates excited and mouths talking. This is unlike any expression that has come before and will beguile and fascinate with its complexity and trickery.“
Highland Park Loki Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review

Nose: Clean, medium, developing notes of yellow apple, dried apple, orange peel, apricot jam, almonds, honey, honeysuckle, rose, hay, kernel, vanilla, nutmeg and smoke

Rating: Outstanding. Another Highland Park success! Elegant Scotch whiskey with integrated notes and flavors of floral, fruit, oak and peat. Flavors and aromas have intensity without overwhelming with a long, lingering finish. Drink neat or on a beautiful sphere of ice, preferably hand carved if available. This limited edition single malt scotch comes presented in a hinged wooden frame that resembles a Viking long boat, cool!
