Highland Park Ingvar Warrior Series (70cl, 60.5%)

Released in 2013, Ingvar is part of The Warrior Series, a collection of single malts created for Duty-Free market in Taiwan, to both introduce a key figure from Orkney’s Viking history and to demonstrate the impact of cask type on our whisky flavour, which is immense. This is a Cask Strength Special Edition.

Ingvar Ragnarson, was a warrior King, known for his exceptional cruelty, strength and skill with many weapons. After successfully conquering Dublin in Ireland, he formed the Great Heathen Army which rampaged through Northern England, beheading the King of that region in the process. Ingvar’s army moved quickly using a variety of weapons including the long spear, which although not as glamorous as the sword or as frightening looking as a battle axe, was deadly on the battlefield and in close combat.

Ingvar was released in early 2016 for the Taiwanese travel retail market, and was named in honour of Ingvar Ragnarsson, “a Warrior king known for his exceptional cruelty, strength and skill”.
