gold
air Nose
It’s this sort of juice that got early writers like Michael Jackson raving about HP and it’s easy to see why. It really is a wonderful spread of heathery honey, very soft peats, earthiness, some resinous sherry notes and lemony/salty coastal aspect. You can understand why it came to be referred to as the ‘great all rounder’ or whatever the phrase was. It does possess a rather unique ‘universality’, something I’m not sure you could say about the current HP - although that’s not necessarily a criticism
restaurant Palate
Bitter oranges, wood spice, smoked olive oil, black olives in brine, chopped fresh herbs such as parsley and chives and even some sherry-induced rancio. Surprisingly old school in fact. If you’d give me this blind and said it was bottled in the 70s I wouldn’t have blinked
timer Finish
Long, mineral, nervous sherry again, lemon rind, oils, a little natural tar and some green fruits. A fading, drying and increasingly medicinal peat in the aftertaste
