Looks like Highland park is getting into the movie/TV themed spirits.
"Last year, Highland Park released its Norse mythology-inspired Thor whisky, and this year its Loki ($249.00). Next up is Freia, though my hope is for one called Ragnarok, which would burst into flames when you opened it, then re-create itself. (This might possibly be beyond the skills of the Highland Park master distiller, talented fellow that he is, but who knows?) Loki, while not remotely cheap, is mighty good: 15 years old, aged in a combination of sherry casks and heavily peated casks, with smoky-citrus-spice notes and 48.7% alcohol. But if Highland Parks Norse-god whiskies are too expensive, the distillerys 12 year old is also a superb single malt and costs only $50. Though it doesnt come with a bizarre wooden Norse-box-frame-object around it, which might be a deal breaker - if youre into that sort of thing."
