Professional reviews

Serge Valentin (92)

Colour: gold.

Nose: waxy cedar wood, honeyed oatmeal, soft heather ale, light dried herbs and gentle garden fruitiness. There’s a wee Orcadian coastal edge creeping in as well. Extremely pleasurable and elegant. Tiny glimmers of Orkney peat in the distance.

Mouth: Superb! Wonderful soft peat smoke, fragrant waxes, beach pebbles, sandalwood and even some rather sublime tropical fruits. Hessian, camphor, a little lemon blossom. Evocative and pretty wonderful.

Finish: long, lemony, fragrant mineral notes, sea salt, blossoms and herbs.

Comments: Straightforward, delicious and beautifully elegant old HP
