Highland Park Dark Origins - Whisky
Highland Park Dark Origins is a new release celebrating the early days of Magnus Eunson's illicit distillation on Orkney, even before the distillery was founded in 1798. Magnus worked as a butcher and church official by day, but by night he was a legendary smuggler of whiskey and distiller.
To honor their hero (the Batman of the Orkney Islands), Highland Park has created a whiskey with a suitably "dark" character.
Through the use of 80% first fill Sherry barrels (20% refill) - 60% first fill European oak, 20% first fill American oak - an exciting, spicy and chocolaty whiskey was produced.

Nose: Dusty baking spices and cocoa at first, cinnamon, vanilla, dates. Coffee cream Revels (possibly a couple of the orange ones too), a touch of blackcurrant/liquorice, plus butterscotch and an interplay between milk and dark chocolate.
Palate: Sweet, fragrant peat emerges with nutty melted milk chocolate and a little orange alongside some pastries.
Finish: Long and sweet, a little dry chocolate, just a hint of that heather smoke, then salivating.
Overall: Rounded first-fill Sherry notes come from both the European and American oak casks. This is a great, chocolatey addition of a (teenage) no age statement release.
