Avis professionnels

Serge Valentin (92)

Colour: gold.

Nose: waxy cedar wood, honeyed oatmeal, soft heather ale, light dried herbs and gentle garden fruitiness. There’s a wee Orcadian coastal edge creeping in as well. Extremely pleasurable and elegant. Tiny glimmers of Orkney peat in the distance.

Mouth: Superb! Wonderful soft peat smoke, fragrant waxes, beach pebbles, sandalwood and even some rather sublime tropical fruits. Hessian, camphor, a little lemon blossom. Evocative and pretty wonderful.

Finish: long, lemony, fragrant mineral notes, sea salt, blossoms and herbs.

Comments: Straightforward, delicious and beautifully elegant old HP!

Whisky Notes (92)

Nose: quite fruity (ripe apples, grapefruit, lime) with heathery notes and the typical coastal side. Distinct floral notes too, mixing with hints of beeswax. Just a whiff of earthy peat. Highly polished and inviting. Mouth: a similar bright fruitiness, now clearly more tropical (tangerine, passion fruits, lime, pink grapefruit). Still a waxy feeling, alongside mint and camphor. Leafy touches. Very subtle hints of salted capers and herbal notes. Great mix of drier and rounder notes. Finish: long, maltier, with grapefruit, hints of dried ginger and mineral earthy notes.

Really beautiful Highland Park, slightly feminine in a way and very elegant.
