Highland Park The Dark 17-year-old is a single malt Scotch whisky from Orkney, a distillery known for balancing gentle peat smoke with rich, sherried character. For a novice drinker, this bottling is generally understood as a darker, fuller style within the range.
Expect a whisky that leans toward dried fruit, spice, and oak, with smoke present as a supporting note rather than the main event. It is a good example of a rich island-style single malt that combines sweetness, depth, and a lightly smoky edge.
