Tasting Notes

Colour

light amber

air Nose

straight away we're in classical HP territory. Soft, dry peat, mushroom powder, walnuts, earthy potting shed, clay, dried out herbs, verbena, some old funny cocktail bitters. Add to all that wet leaves and unlit cigars! It's just so very complete, humble and pleasing!

restaurant Palate

it even works well at only 40%, the weight of the distillate is such that you still get body, the peat comes through with more drying, peppery characteristics, black tea, dried mint, treacle with sea salt, miso, Scotch broth and fir wood full of resins. Simply but again the feeling of a cohesive, fully formed and rather beautiful profile is impossible to escape

timer Finish

good length, resins and heather honey with very delicate peat going into the aftertaste
