Introduced in August 2018, the Highland Park 18 Year Viking Pride Travel Edition is exclusively offered in travel retail locations. This Orkney single malt spends its entire 18-year maturation in sherry-seasoned European oak casks and is bottled at 46% ABV, its marrying strength, while the standard version is 43% ABV. It is presented with its natural color.

The aroma features orange zest, ginger, and vanilla, with some toffee notes also present. The palate is sweet and zesty, leading to a lingering peppery finish. It's rather pricey, but fortunately, it was a gift 😊
Rich, sweet, fruity, and complex from extensive sherry aging. I anticipated more intensity than the standard 18-year due to the slightly higher alcohol content, but they are nearly identical. Still an outstanding pour.
Easy to drink, with a light peat presence, though perhaps a bit more smoky than is typical for the distillery.
Subtle toffee notes with no lingering aftertaste, making it very easy to drink.
Lovely honey notes and remarkably mellow despite being 46% ABV.
It was a bit different but fucking good.
