The online tasting was once again particularly fun! For me, one of the winners of the evening: wonderful heather notes and a light smokiness. Benefits immensely from a little water!
An interesting and tasty cask, lots of Islay character on the nose, then the HP comes in the mouth and finish. Successful!

| Нос | 86 | I don't know which cask the "ex-Southislay" was, but the Lagavulin comes out well :-), super maritime, BBQ, dark, sweet honey, caraway. The HP is actually not recognizable. |
| Вкус | 87 | Now much milder, this is HP with a slightly higher smoke level, after several sips it becomes more bitter, again more in the direction of Islay. |
| Финиш | 85 | Long, lots of salt, quite a lot of smoke, HP is noticeable through the herbal note. |

Quite spicy at first and still quite balanced even with a few drops of water. It only becomes sweeter and tastier after some time in the glass. The nose is clearly Islay. An interesting blend, but you have to take your time with it. Not easy drinking.
I like it a lot. The nose is really very good. 83 points.

The nose is confusing at first because you're expecting Highland Park, but then spicy smoked ham comes out and it's very dominant. The ex-Southislay cask definitely had a hand in this. The fruit is rather subtly noticeable, as are sweet notes. After a while there is a mineral smoky note. The taste is full to bursting at first. It starts off very powerful and intense, before the heather notes typical of Highland Park come along. Here too there is a salty note, then sweet with honey and vanilla. The finish is spicy and mineral. A very interesting bottling, as this has nothing to do with a typical Highland Park. It feels like something new is added each time. I recommend adding water, but you have to experiment drop by drop. The whisky doesn't lose its aromas, but it does taste more pleasant. A very interesting whisky, but not for every day. Very varied and complex.
I really like it. Sweet, fruity, with smoke, a delicate pharmacy note. Peat, wet earth and a subtle honey bitterness.

Nase: süß, angebratener Speck, salzig, etwas Kirsche, etwas Orange, mineralischer Rauch, Vanille Pudding ••• Geschmack: süß, würzig, Eiche, etwas Lakritz, Kirsche, Malz, Rauch ••• Abgang: Mittellang bis lang, leicht rauchiges süßes Malz mit etwas Lakritz bleibt. ••• Fazit: In der Nase geht es speziell los. Süße Noten gepaart mich angebratenem salzigen Speck. Dazu kommt eine Mischung aus Kirsche und Orange. Dezenter Mineralischer Rauch kommt nach einer Weile dazu. Dann auch noch Vanille Pudding. Der Geschmack startet sehr stark. Die Gast 58 % gegen ordentlich Gas. Danach folgt eine erster Abgang der super angenehm, Süß und würzig ist. Eiche ist wahrnehmbar. Lakritze und Kirschen kommen nun. Malz ist ebenfalls da. Eine super spannende Abfüllung die sehr vielschichtig ist. Man entdeckt immer wieder was Neues. Ohne Wasser ist er mir im Geschmack schon etwas zu heftig. Mit Wasser wird es etwas angenehmer. Mir gefällt er. ••• 87

| Нос | 85 | You immediately get Islay notes - which is of course rather unusual for a HP and can therefore only be explained by the cask. In other words, a very clear Islay cask influence! I'm not sure which Islay distillery the barrel used here comes from, but to me it smells like Laphroaig, especially in combination with the HP. Peat and iodine. Medicinal with a touch of sea air and seaweed. Reminds me a lot of the Laphroaig Elements 2.0 with an extended fermentation time. The typical heather smell of HP is very hidden and I don't know if I could point to it if I didn't know it was HP, but I think I can find it. Unfortunately, there is nothing more to be found here. The Islay cask really flattened the HP spirit. |
| Вкус | 88 | The peat comes out first in the mouth. Very pleasant and warm. The notes are dominated by sweet vanilla and caramel, dominating the peat and the iodine taste, which is not as prominent as the smell. Old wood, honey, but also fruit that is just ripe. Apples, wild berries, ... then more and more heather. Everything happens slowly at first and then faster and faster, so that it is difficult to clearly separate the individual flavors at the end. Complex and playful. In my opinion, this is not an easy sipper, but rather a whisky that is literally dying to be analyzed. It's fun to be sent on a journey with every sip and discover new notes. For the price, I think this whisky is definitely worth considering these days (€118.90). |
| Финиш | 85 | The finish is rather short and woody but pleasant. After the strong first finish, a very long period of "sweet dryness" remains. Well balanced. Vanilla wood and honey. Very successful. |
