Highland Park The Dark

Description

A celebration of the low sun of the Orkney winter solstice, this special release was named Best Distiller’s Single Malt at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, receiving a Double Gold medal upon its release. A 17 year old bottling matured exclusively in first-fill European sherry oak casks for a rich and deep flavor of ripe cherries, dark chocolate, toasted almonds and aromatic smoke. The Dark is a highly limited release and is presented in a beautifully embossed black glass bottle that depicts the serpent dragon of the great Norse sagas embracing both the high sun and low sun of the summer and winter solstice.
