By Jove, it seems we may have indeed attributed some secret Scapa to HP, as this is equally earthy and mineral, lemony, taut, waxy, and complex like the famous malt of Edrington's. There are even these admirable notes of heather honey, perhaps even white heather. Heather is fascinating, and heather honey even more so. With water: Ultra-precise, with heather, sweet woodruff, and limestone. Palate (undiluted): It's a bit more aggressive on the palate than on the nose, but it's rare to find lemon and limestone paired like this, except in the Aligotés from Domaine de Villaine. But we are far from Burgundy! Excellently taut, while still being enveloped by vanilla, honeysuckle, and a hint of coconut. With water: It really is a wine-malt. More honeyed notes this time
timer Finish
Medium-length, with citrus liqueurs and once again, limestone notes. A touch of pink rhubarb
