Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very youngish, sharp, new-makish and yet it’s pleasant, because the spirit is of high quality. Must have been the laziest cask ever ;-). Anyway, there’s quite some peat smoke, earth, many fresh herbs, a little clay, green pears, then more flints, lamp oil and ‘wet oatcakes’. With water: becomes more coastal. Grapefruits and oysters
restaurant Palate
an ultra-fresh, crystal-clean fruity profile that displays HP’s character very well. I guess that was the whole point when MoS decided to bottle this baby (to be honest, if it’s like this after 24 years, 10 more years won’t change anything unless you re-rack it). So some waxy lemons plus touches of smoke, not too ripe pineapples and a little heather honey. And fir liqueur. With water: excellent, a kind of waxy fruit salad
timer Finish
medium long, with more peaches. Lemony aftertaste
