A rich and powerful single malt whisky, The Dark has been matured exclusively in sherry seasoned oak casks and is presented in an embossed black glass bottle. The serpent dragon design takes its inspiration from the great Norse sagas, embracing both the high sun of the summer solstice and the low sun of the winter solstice, while the runic writing reflects the ancient carvings of our Viking ancestors, here in Orkney.
āEmbernectarā is the word we coined to describe this whiskyās unique flavour profile. Itās definitely easier than saying ādistant campfires, toasted almonds, dried fruits, cinnamon, cedarwood, fruitcake and light smokeā.
