Highland Park Dark Origins 46.8%

Dark Origins是向創辦人Magnus Eunson的致敬之作。他是一位傳奇人物，在 1700 年代末，他有雙重身份。日間是屠夫和教堂的職員，但在深夜他搖身一變成為威士忌的酒匠和走私販，以減輕村民承受的重稅。
Highland Park的威士忌從不添加色素，他們透過使用雪莉桶來令酒色變深。Dark Origins 80%用初裝雪莉桶（60%歐洲橡木、20%美國橡木）、20%於二次使用的雪莉桶熟成，從而產生天然的深色和濃郁風味。

Dark Origins has been released in homage to the founder Magnus Eunson. He is a legend who worked as a butcher and church officer by day, but he became a whisky distiller and smuggler in the dead of the night in the late 1700s, to offer relief from the villainy of the tax collector. 
As Highland Park never add coloring to the whisky, they create the dark character by using sherry casks. Dark Origins is a combination of 80% first fill sherry casks (of which 60% is European oak and 20% American) and 20% refill sherry, resulting in a naturally darker and richer flavour.
