Remarks:
I really like this HP. The alcohol is very well integrated. Only it becomes a bit too bitter on the palate and in the finish.
Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points
- Nose: 89/100 points
Fruity smoky start, dried fruits embedded in a pleasant, slightly sweet smoke, some citrus fruits in the background, as well as slightly dark chocolate, slightly spicy. The alcohol works very well, it only becomes stronger later. - Taste: 89/100 points
Strong start with smoked ham quickly transitioning into aromas of dried fruits, slightly sweet but still a bit sour, chocolate, pepper, then becoming bitterly dry - Finish: 89/100 points
strong finish, rough with a hint of ash, dark chocolate, bitter and becoming dry, long-lasting, the sherry aromas are more to be found in the background
