Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Sweet nectar, marshmallow candy, solvent, hint of sulfur
P: Rich and spicy, unique organic sweetness, like honeycomb or fruit extract...
F: Medium length.
An interesting single cask HP, but many better ones in this price range.

Sherry nose. Taste has a sharp bite (too much so almost), and the finish is short lived. Metallic taste overall. Discovered more complexity with the right amount of water. Much better whiskey than I initially thought after the first glass.

Sharp and spicy with a short finish. Much better the second time around.

Adam

Sherry is most notable in cask-strength richness. Very slight smoke pokes through in the finish, which is medium-length.

Mike

Starts like a Highland Park with the complex nose, malt and smoke. Finishes like Mortlach with some sap and bitter flavors, but not as long.

Dave

Darker and much more stout than many HPs I have had. Loads of perfumes and floral notes on lilacs, heather and hay. Dark chocolate bitterness and blackcurrants along with some real cereal/bready goodness. I liked this alot and the finish was much longer than usual with these single cask HPs.
