Highland Park Dark Origins
Highland Park Dark Origins is a NAS (no-age-statement) single malt Scotch whisky from Orkney, designed to be a richer, more intense expression than the core 12-year-old. It pays tribute to founder Magnus Eunson's illicit 18th-century smuggling, featuring twice the first-fill sherry cask usage and a dark, modern matte bottle.
