Maturation and Flavor Profile
To craft the 15 Year Old Viking Heart, Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion selected predominantly sherry-seasoned European oak casks, imparting warm, spicy notes, and sherry-seasoned American oak casks, which provide a balance of sweet vanilla. A few refill casks were also incorporated to soften and smooth the flavor profile. The result is a rich and complex whisky with the following tasting notes:
Aroma: Crème brûlée, heather honey, and hints of cinnamon.
Palate: Refreshing lemon, ripe pineapple, and warming cinnamon, complemented by subtle traces of vanilla, orange, and smoky peat.
Finish: Lingering notes of sweet vanilla and subtle smoke.
Packaging
In a nod to its Viking heritage, the 15 Year Old Viking Heart is presented in an elegant ceramic decanter, inspired by ancient earthenware vessels used at the distillery centuries ago. This unique packaging not only reflects the brand's history but also makes for a striking display piece.
