Terrific stuff. And no, it hasn't changed for me...
This is my favourite dram. I am a regular (responsible) whisky drinker (enthusiast, but not an expert by any means). I won't give you strict tasting notes, as they are subjective (eg. I get a citrus-marmalade nose with a hint of its sherry cask origin and peat smoke, others smell vanilla and green apple... that one is on you to decide). What I will say however is that HP12 is a lighter, less aggressive whisky (some might say "smooth") with a touch of peatiness (a million miles from your Islay whiskies). Highland Park is frequently cited as a good introduction to the world of whisky, at a relatively affordable price. I would agree, but that doesn't mean they don't also offer new smells and tastes to those who have been drinking whisky for a while. Some may argue there is a difference since they rebranded... I don't smell or taste it. Perhaps these alleged "experts" have a much more refined palate than you or I, or maybe some are just frightened of change. I'll leave that to you to decide. Frankly, I like the bottle's new shape and design. With the "Viking" theme they have chosen to engage more with (Orkney is an archipelago steeped in Viking lore), they are clearly trying to appeal to a new audience. This is by no means a bad thing!! Honestly the more people who love this and other whiskies, the more the community grows and the less its (misguided) stuffy old "boys club" snobby image prevails!

Lovely whisky for the price
Got on a discount to £32 and it was fantastic for that price point. Smooth, not too strong on the alcohol with nice flavours and aromas of honey, heather & peat

Initially lovely, but better can be found.
Before I write my usual pros, neutrals, and cons, I though I should at least give you some perspective on my whiskey experience. I've had Scottish, Germanic, and Japanese whiskey's, over the years. Though, this is the first time I've had something from Highland Park, a rather popular brand. Just about everywhere I look I see positive thoughts, so the stage was set for my purchase and my new drink. Along with this review, I'm attaching several images of the product for you to take a look at. Pros: Pretty bottle and packaging - The overall presentation of everything you get is lovely, it comes in a rather classy black and gold design, with a reflective finish on some of the text and logo. The presentation is carried over on the bottle, but more kept under check to show off the whiskey inside. The smell - The smell is powerful, and fills up the room rather nicely. I find I get some vanilla, smoke, and some orange in the nose. Neutrals: The taste - The whiskey is rather nice, with hints of oak, smoke, and a blend of spice and sweetness on the tongue. So why is it in the neutrals? The reason being, the after taste. The hints of oak and smoke dissipates and leaves a rather metallic feel in the throat. This is rather disapointing considering the initial taste on the tongue was actually rather nice. Cons: The bottle design - The bottle, as mentioned above, is rather nice to the eye. The downside to the design however is, when pouring, you do get some spillage down the neck. It's not major, but as this is so nice I'd hate to waste any. Conclusion: Some call this a masterpiece, and until the metallic nature of the drink came through I would've agreed. It's a taste found on cheaper whiskies, bad blends, and overall drinks I would suggest avoiding. So I'm stuck, to some degree I like what I have, but at the same time I know I could find better. For £25, or maybe £30 it's worth getting, but if you've got a bit more cash on hand I'd look for another bottle. Overall, not a great first impression of a rather respected brand.

Ich habe vor kurzem die Highland Park 12 Jahre Viking Honour Whiskyflasche geöffnet und möchte meine Gedanken über dieses außergewöhnliche Getränk teilen. Als Liebhaber von Whisky mit einem Faible für Geschichten und Kulturen war ich besonders gespannt auf diese Flasche, die den klangvollen Titel "Viking Honour" trägt. Geschmack (5/5): Der erste Schluck war wie eine Reise in die raue, aber faszinierende Landschaft Schottlands, wo die Highland Park Destillerie beheimatet ist. Dieser Whisky ist eine harmonische Mischung aus süßen, fruchtigen Noten und subtilen Raucharomen. Der Geschmack von Honig und getrockneten Früchten tanzt auf der Zunge, gefolgt von einer sanften Rauchigkeit, die sich langsam aufbaut und eine angenehme Wärme im Mund hinterlässt. Die Balance zwischen den verschiedenen Geschmacksrichtungen ist wirklich bemerkenswert und zeigt die Meisterschaft der Destillerie. Aroma (4/5): Beim Öffnen der Flasche entströmt ein verlockendes Aroma von Vanille und Karamell, das von einem Hauch von Gewürzen begleitet wird. Es erinnert an eine warme, gemütliche Hütte inmitten eines schottischen Hochlandwaldes. Während das Aroma ansprechend ist, könnte es für einige Whiskykenner etwas kräftiger sein. Design und Verpackung (5/5): Die Highland Park 12 Jahre Viking Honour Flasche selbst ist ein Kunstwerk. Das Etikett mit einem Wikingerschiff und den nordischen Symbolen verleiht ihm einen historischen und mystischen Charme. Die Flasche selbst ist robust und gut verarbeitet. Sie fühlt sich in der Hand angenehm schwer an und wird in einer eleganten Verpackung geliefert. Geschichte und Erbe (5/5): Was diesen Whisky wirklich besonders macht, ist die Verbindung zur reichen schottischen Geschichte und zur nordischen Kultur. Die Highland Park Destillerie ist auf den Orkney-Inseln angesiedelt, die einst von Wikingern bewohnt waren. Dieser Whisky zollt diesem Erbe Tribut und erweckt die Geschichten und Legenden der Wikinger zum Leben. Bei jedem Schluck fühlt man sich, als würde man in die Geschichte eintauchen. Fazit: Die Highland Park 12 Jahre Viking Honour ist nicht nur ein Getränk, sondern eine Erfahrung. Sie verbindet vorzüglichen Geschmack mit einer faszinierenden Geschichte und einem eindrucksvollen Design. Ob Sie ein Whiskykenner oder ein Geschichtsliebhaber sind, dieser Whisky wird Sie begeistern. Es ist der perfekte Begleiter für gemütliche Abende am Kamin oder besondere Anlässe. Slàinte mhath!
