The Orkney Islands, steeped in Viking history for over 600 years, inspired the Spirit of the Bear, echoing the Viking belief in channeling the bear spirit for battle. This whisky utilizes an abundant portion of Orkney peated malt for a unique flavor profile.
Aged in a blend of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak, and refill casks, it showcases layers of soft berry, dark chocolate, silky vanilla, and orange zest. The presence of peat imparts a rich aromatic smoke. Crafted at the Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney since 1798, the distinctive Orkney environment infuses a wild harmony of flavors into this distinguished whisky.
