Nose: Some vanilla and heather honey. Caramel and dark fruits (Cherries,Plums), but not very deep as expected. Medium to light sherry I’d say.
Palate: Wee oak, Citrus and again some dark fruit and wood spice.
Finish : Not one of the longest I’ve sensed in HPs. Nice, but not quite there.
All in all I must say i am not very impressed with this one, I had better HPs, and this duty free version with its 40% ABV is not much of a bargain.
Producer`s Tasting Notes
Appearance: Rich, warm amber hue.
Nose:
Warm caramel to the fore coupled with hints of almonds. Dark fruit,
including cherries and figs, are slowly revealed as the whisky opens up.
Palate: Caramel and soft smoky notes intertwine with cinnamon and rich dried fruits. Beautifully mature.
Finish: Lingering warming smoky finish.
