Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

a very interesting version, much more medicinal than the usual HPs, phenolic and mineral ala 1980s Clynelish. A lot of grass as well, linseed oil, then touches of porridge, muesli and seaweed. It’s no easy dram so far, maybe for aficionados only? With water: more toward porridge, as often. Hay, a little seawater

restaurant Palate

really big, phenolic, uncompromising, a true islander. Quite some peat and pepper, ginger, heavy herbal liqueur, touches of juniper berries, liquorice wood, grapefruits… It’s all very nervous and becomes more and more gingery and sappy. A little extreme, in a way, and certainly not your average HP. With water: more citrusy tones, more minerals, more wax. Me likes

timer Finish

long, with a peppery and smoky side that never stops growing
