The Highland Park Sigurd is a single malt Scotch whisky that is part of the Warrior Series, exclusively created for the Travel Retail market. This series pays homage to legendary Norse heroes, and the Sigurd expression is named after one of the most feared Viking earls from the Orkneyinga Saga. Bottled in 2013, Sigurd is matured in European oak casks from one of Scotland's greatest distilleries, Highland Park, located on the Orkney archipelago. The distillery has a long and storied history, having been founded in the 18th century by either David Robertson or Magnus Eunson, a famous smuggler churchman. Highland Park distillery has been owned by the Edrington Group since 1999 and is known for its lightly smoky character from its own peated floor-maltings, which make up around 20% of the barley used for distillation. The Sigurd is a bold and strong whisky, just like its namesake, with a warrior's instinct as sharp as the sword he always carried by his side. The whisky has a harmonious composition of fruity, spicy, and smoky elements, with a rich peat structure. It is bottled at 43.0% ABV, non-chill filtered, and naturally colored. The bottle is beautifully designed, featuring Sigurd's mighty sword, which is intricately engraved with rune stones, dragons, mythical iconography, and longships. The whisky has been crafted with great skill, care, and attention to detail, delivering an expression worthy of carrying Sigurd's name. It is presented in a wooden presentation box, making it a great gift for whisky lovers and collectors. The Sigurd is a testament to Highland Park's commitment to excellence and its rich heritage. It is a must-try for whisky enthusiasts and a fitting tribute to the legendary Viking earl, Sigurd.

Highland Park Sigurd has received varied reviews, with some batches being particularly praised for their traditional Scotch style and complex balance of malt, wine, and wood flavors. The 16/06 batch, in particular, stands out for its harmonious mix of aromas and tastes, while later batches like 03/04 have been noted for their less impressive quality. Despite some criticism, the whisky is appreciated for its light smoke, fruity notes, and well-balanced profile, making it a pleasing choice for both casual sipping and in-depth exploration.
