Valknut is the second in Viking Legend series. The word translates to ‘knot of those slain in battle’ and the symbol of inter-linked triangles represents the transition from earthly life to heavenly life – ‘heavenly’ being the operative word when it comes to this special release, winning Double Gold in the 2019 San Francisco Spirits Competition.
Created using a higher proportion of Highland Park peated malt and matured in a combination of sherry seasoned European and American oak casks and ex-bourbon casks, Valknut walks a fine line between the aromatic spiciness of cloves and cracked black pepper and the patisserie sweetness of toasted vanilla and creme brûlée.
