Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold
air Nose
Earth, the softest and wispiest of peat smoke, heather, honey and various fruits. This cask could almost have been selected by the HP marketing team. There is a wonderfully beguiling maltiness about the whole thing and natural sweetness that emerges as barley sugar and a kind of buttery popcorn note. With time some more medicinal aspects emerge, like wandering a hospital that’s closed down for a couple of weeks. Then greengages and fresh gooseberries
restaurant Palate
Again this wonderfully elegant balance between soft, earthy and herbal peat, mixed with gentle background medical complexities. Utterly and unequivocally HP to me. Goes on with gorse, various dried herbs, hessian, some tar liqueur, olive oil, rosewater, chocolate limes and a few cinnamon sweets. With time some notes of smouldering hay, more heathery aspects and a distant Atlantic freshness
timer Finish
Long and undulating between natural barley sweetness, and earthy, farmy and medicinal aspects. Some drying phenols and waxy aspects trailing into the distance
