Valkyrie, in Norse mythology, was a female figure or spirit that had the power to choose which Viking warriors would die in battle and be taken to join Odin’s army. VALKYRIE celebrates the rich Nordic ancestry of Orkney, once part of a vast Viking kingdom.

The packaging has been created by Danish designer Jim Lyngvild and the inspiration for Valfather has comes from various historical Viking artifacts in Scandinavia. 

To taste, expect bewitching oriental spices, creamy vanilla, sweet preserved ginger, dark chocolate with hints of liquorice. On the finish you should appreciate the waves of warm aromatic smoke and richly ripened fruit.
