Comment: I have compare side by side this whisky to HP 10 and it seems to be very similar howevere more dry. Nothing really more to say than about HP 10. I may like 10 YO more for its honey sweetness.

Nosing: Orange Vanilla Sherry Fig Honey

Taste: Sherry Peat Smoke Leather Cherry

Finish: a very subtle Peat Smoke , not-too-sweet Caramel , Walnut

Comment: A surprising transition from dominant sherry & fruit on the nose, to a subtle bitterness in its finish.

A very approachable, enjoyable whisky for many levels of of palate sophistication - disentangling the fruit & sweet complexity presents a particularly satisfying challenge.
