It's been 8 months since my last bottle of Dark Origins. Tasting the Odin made me want to re-visit it again. I was overwhelmed with it at the time, so I figured it would be interesting to try it again after having my fair share of 12s and 15s since then.



I just love that black bottle.





So how is it? It was strong before, and it's strong still. Bottled at 46.8%, there's no wonder. It's not as strong as the Odin mind you. That stuff packs a punch. The Dark Origins definitely has a boldness unto its own. It is really good, you just have to be ready for it. It's not a whisky for the noobies.

I just don't know why they don't bless it with an age statement. It's undeniably a teenage whisky. Even if it's a 12-year, I'd prefer to see it on the bottle. However, it's no 12 year. It has all the complexities of a 15-16 year whisky. They should be proud of that fact and display on the bottle. That being said, I still don't think it's worth the $90 bucks I paid for it. I'd much rather go with the 15 year that's $15 cheaper.
