Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well, this one could well have been an official bottling. Indeed, it’s got everything we’re expecting from an old HP OB, heather honey, faints whiffs of peat smoke, dried fruits, flower nectar, light tobacco, echoes of the sea (okay, sea air), a few herbal notes, earl grey tea, chamomile… All that is rather elegant and very well polished despite a few coarse woody notes in the end (pepper and ginger tonic)
restaurant Palate
a little strange in the attack, with unexpected medicinal notes (eucalyptus tea, cough syrup) as well as notes of sweet mint and liquorice that make it very, well, unusual. It’s got something of a very old Islayer (believe me or not, it reminds me a bit of the slightly infamous Ardbeg 1965 OB but this HP is better on the palate). Other than that we have quite some orange marmalade and honey as well as notes of sweet curry sauce and many other spices. Do I like it? Pretty much so!
timer Finish
medium to short but superbly clean and sweetly resinous
