Stories

Whisky is a passion to explore. From the history of the spirit to the evolution of the industry, the story of whisky helps fuel that passion. Often, it’s easy to forget that whisky is also a global multibillion dollar industry. The stories of whisky — from news and new releases to in-depth inquires and what goes on behind the label — blend together to help us appreciate the spirit of whisky.

Highland Park Launches Warrior Series

First, Highland Park launched a series of single malts honoring Orkney legends like Earl Haakon. Then came the Valhalla Collection, starting with Thor and the long-rumored Loki that may be announced in the next several weeks. Now, the distillery is starting a new Warrior Series for the travel retail market.

The first three malts in the series will be available in European travel retail at first, with a wider release later in the year. The malts are named Svein, Einar, and Harald, and will be priced between 40 Euros (Svein) and 75 Euros (Harald) per bottle., and according to Highland Park’s Gerry Tosh, play on the Nordic heritage for Scotland, and particularly Orkney, where the first Vikings landed on their way to invading Scotland.

The remaining three expressions in the Warrior Series will be released this summer.
