For this edition, Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion selected sherry-seasoned European oak casks for their warm, spicy notes and sherry-seasoned American oak casks to provide sweet notes to the lightly peated single malt. Highland Park Viking Heart 15 years old is presented in a ceramic decanter by Wade Ceramic, inspired by ancient examples found at the distillery. The lead-free porcelain decanter is 100% food safe, glazed inside and out, and embossed with the lion and serpent design that appears on many Highland Park glass bottles.
