With over 15 years in the wine and spirits industry, this consignor is a bonafide whisky enthusiast. He is a certified sommelier who has served as a wine and spirits instructor, brand ambassador for several renowned whisky brands in Toronto, and manager of a fine wine and spirits store in Vancouver. Currently, he manages private whisky collections. The bottles in his collection were purchased across Canada, Newfoundland to Victoria, except for some bourbon form the US and a few high-end bottles of whisky from Scotland. He remembers buying the first bottle in October 2008 in Calgary. A pristine collection, that was stored, upright, in wooden cabinets behind closed doors in his basement for 10 years. The four years prior to coming to Iron Gate saw the bottles in closed hard plastic storage boxes in a secured temperature-controlled storage facility in the GTA.
The Highland Park 16 Years Old Thor is the inaugural release in the distillery's Valhalla Collection, launched in 2012. Named after the Nordic God of Thunder, Thor symbolizes Highland Park's Scandinavian roots and connection to the ancient history of Orkney, the distillery's location. The whisky is bottled at a robust 52.1% volume, encapsulating its strong character.
With only 23,000 bottles released, this limited edition single malt whisky emphasizes Highland Park's dedication to producing unique, distinct expressions. As the first of four releases in the Valhalla series, Thor sets the precedent for the collection's inspiration drawn from legendary Nordic deities.
Highland Park's 16-Year-Old Thor offers a distinctive whisky experience and stands as an important part of the Valhalla Collection. Its notable features, from the whisky's robust strength to its unique presentation, make it a compelling addition to any whisky collection.
