Dave Broom
83- Nose
- Rounded,deep and mossy. Aromatic, toasty oak tangerine zest almost floral smokiness:incense,scented candles. Tantalising mix of the fragrant,the sweet and the dry. Best neat.
- Palate
- Spicy with plenty of ginger and nutmeg. Good length,dry smoke, then heather. Mellow,yet firm enough to add a layer of complexity.
- Finish
- Crisp,long.
- Comment
- A drier expression of HP from the norm and all the more fascinating for that.Recommended.
Martine Nouet
88- Nose
- Phenolic and marine. Boat tar. Wet rope. Then sweeter notes. Vanilla waffles. On time a floral note. Orange blossom? Some citrus (lemon sorbet).
- Palate
- Smooth. Sweet and malty with a distinctive iodinic note; Salty feel. Fizzy. Dry spices.
- Finish
- Long,dry with an oaky sherried edge.
- Comment
- A fresh and dry whisky. Gradual delivery on the nose.The palate is more in one piece. But a beautiful one!
