Tasting Notes

Nose

Dark sherry, dried fruit, dark chocolate. Richer and darker than the standard 12, with the increased first-fill sherry proportion adding intensity. Beneath the sherry, the familiar Highland Park heather smoke and a gentle maritime saltiness. Complex and inviting.

Palate

Full and sherried — dark fruit, chocolate, a robust oak spice. The 80% first-fill sherry cask proportion gives Dark Origins a depth of sherry character that the standard range cannot match. Mid-palate brings roasted nut, a gentle smokiness and a satisfying warmth. At 46.8%, excellent presence.

Finish

Long, with dark sherry and heather smoke interweaving in a rich, sustained fade.

Expert Review

8.2/10

Highland Park's sherry-forward expression — double the first-fill sherry casks for a darker, richer Orkney malt.
