Highland Park's 'The Dark' is a 17-year-old single malt, emblematic of the whisky's connection to the seasons on the Isle of Orkney. As the name suggests, this expression is a celebration of the autumn and winter months, capturing the essence of these seasons and their place in the yearly cycle of the island. As a part of a diptych, it is complemented by 'The Light', which signifies the spring and summer seasons, emphasizing the harmony and balance between opposing periods.
This expression has been matured in sherry seasoned European oak casks, showcasing Highland Park's dedication to quality and the influence of cask type on the spirit's character. Notably, the whisky boasts a strength of 52.9% ABV, indicating its undiluted nature and the intensity of its flavor profile. Such cask strength whiskies are often sought after by enthusiasts and collectors for their authenticity and richness.
Highland Park, located on the northern isle of Orkney, has incorporated elements from Norse mythology into 'The Dark', with the bottle adorned by a serpent dragon and runes. The release is limited, with only 28,000 bottles available, highlighting its exclusivity and potential appeal to whisky investors and aficionados looking for distinctive additions to their collection.
