An aptly named single malt, 18 Year Old Viking Pride won the Chairman’s Award in the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2018 and 2019 and owes everything to our 5 keystones of production that we’ve honoured for over 220 years. The high ratio of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks selected to create our 18 Year Old give it a unique flavour profile of bursting overripe cherries, bitter dark chocolate, sweet marzipan, floral heather honey, and aromatic peat smoke.
Color: Clear, bright, burnished gold
Flavor: Cherries | Dark chocolate | Toffee | Marzipan | Heather honey | Aromatic peat smoke
Try With: Meaty fish like mahi mahi or swordfish cooked with Indian spices (think cardamom and ginger – surprisingly good!), cold meats with ginger chutney, and citrus fruit puddings
