I would take the HP30. The reason is the higher ABV, the rarity of the bottle, and the addition of very few smoke, which increases complexity.

Are you buying to drink that bottle or as an investment? HP30 is certainly a better choice but it's almost twice as expensive as the Macallan...

I think I agree with @SlàinteMhath that at that price difference, as well as absolute cost of the HP30, you might well ask yourself whether it might not be better use for that extra EUR250.
