Highland Park Sigurd – Warrior Series
Sigurd
Released in 2013, Sigurd is part of The Warrior Series, a collection of single malts created for the Travel Retail market. Each expression introduces a key figure from Orkney’s Viking history and demonstrates how cask type affects the whisky’s flavour.
The single malt is named after one of the most feared Viking earls in the Orkneyinga Saga. The symbol is a sword of Sigurd which he inherited from his dead father. The Sigurd whisky comes presented in a beautiful wooden box.
Sigurd is considered amongst the strongest & most courageous warriors and ultimately was one of the most feared Viking Earls.
Predominantly matured in sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, Sigurd’s big and bold flavour exhibits layer upon layer of lemon peel, charred pineapple, cinnamon, lavender, and rich peat smoke.

Tasting Notes
- Colour:Full gold with slightly rusty copper hues.
Nose:
Given time and gentle soft autumn fruits will greet you, a little like a harvest festival pudding with a sheath of corn next to it for decoration.
Palate:
A fuller, more oily mouthfeel greets you with smooth and creamy fruits as if they’ve been stewed and covered in vanilla custard, with nutmeg over the top to spice it up a touch. Inviting with a hint of smoke.
Finish:
Smooth and oily, but something in there keeping you refreshed. Sweet and decadent, yet balanced and not deeply into the winter fruits.
- Colour:Full gold with slightly rusty copper hues.
