Enormously intense and full of pressure on the nose. First the oak is there. Aromatic, sherry-soaked and herbal. Eucalyptus crystallizes out. It does not take long before overripe fruit comes. Apple, orange, fig, apricots. Significantly fermented. Sweet caramel is mixed with this fruit compote. Brittle and trail mix. In the background are sherrylastige wine flavors. After some time, the herbs come through stronger again, this time with honey and cherry. And now - after twenty minutes - comes a delicate, barely noticeable trail of smoke. With spice it is more smoked cheese than real smoke. Dry pipe tobacco. Modriges leather. Then still peach. Unbelievably interesting. Enchantingly aromatic.

Very sweet, but immediately accompanied by tingling, oak. Tobacco, orange concentrate, resin, fermented fruit, woody honey, a rollercoaster ride. After swallowing, a nice bitterness slowly sets in, leaving enough room for the intense fruits and the sweet spice composition. The Nachschmecken is dominated by tobacco and baked apple. With further swallowing it becomes kräutriger.

Very long. Tobacco, fruits, dark chocolate. It gets drier after minutes.

Sweet tartness with jams and citrus emerge from the bottle.

In the glass more jams at the beginning (currant, wild berries) but accompanied with strong and spicy Sherry casks.

Dired heather and lots of blood oranges (meat and juice). Suddenly a peat wave wanders through the whisky and disappears again. These changes go on for at least 15 minutes - the peat comes really intense, tart and spicy, sometimes with some pear puree. The peat and the jams have some collisions as if they were fighting for the upper hand. Still quite 'nervous' and surprising until now.

After some minutes there are more candied orange peels and hints of tart jams. Clear gooseberries now - with or without peat.

Clear oak and salted and peppered cherries. Even some sea air with some 'peatwood'.

Finally some settling is happening and sweet/spicy (pepper) raisins appear and very tart honey mixed into some alcohol (maybe (sparkling) wine or even something stronger).

The peat doesn't 'cut' other aromas now and the quite wonderful spice mixtures can be now experienced coated by lemon juice and some oranges. Some upholstery and more and more dark chocolate from minute to minute. More interwoven now.

Some barley from time to time, tart hazelnut cream, honey poured over cherries, spicy wood, hints of rum and honey cake.

Not elegant, more rough and tart (maybe even rude at the beginning) and the HP character shows itself more on the spicy side.

Later even some burnt caramel and hints of latte macchiato.

Many spices such as mustard seeds and hints of cumin, etc.

Unusual nose.

Orange peels, pepper, wood, cherry juice and sweet cherry jam at the beginning.

Then there come the old Sherry casks with something really 'old' such as scouring powder with an old cloth and some moving resin.

Very dark chocolate, spiciness and tart leather.

A lot of citrus and a lot of fire - really intense!

Later some gooseberries again and tart fruit sweetnes.

Peat and then spicy honey - getting sweet in a slow pace.

Espresso powder, plum puree in a chocolate coat.

Bread with dark jam.

Charcoal and some bark, dark cognac and brandy beans.

Finally there is the 'clear' HP character not only from the spiciness but overall!

Nice oiliness.

Dark and voluminous.

Sherry casks with peat and a lot of spiciness.

Tartness with orange peels and spice mixtures. Cherries, hints of woody vanilla.

Cognac, brandy beans and a tart sweetness, later with pickled fruits.

The feeling of honey.

Then comes a wonderful coffee-chocolate with some tart leather and later joined by some peat. Some sourness from the wild berries, the wood has also some 'soft' components in all its spiciness (oaky).

Getting dry late. Long and warm - slow finish (now more elegance but also a bit furry from the intensity of the huge palate).

Chocolate bakery and later really dark chocolate with the mouthfeel of it - wonderful.

Yes! That nose! Strike that. That Nose! Creamy and sweet on all kinds of dark and candied fruit – peach, apricots, sultana – with a good dollop of heather honey and a truckload of toffee. Add some brown sugar and beeswax, liquorice and milk chocolate. The whole if finished with some leather. This is simply magnificent and easily entertains you for a full 15 minutes. Delicious.

On the palate it is quasi creamy and immediately pleasantly sweet, but with a trace of salt and a touch of smoke. Mildly drying as well. Quite spicy. The fruit from the nose reappears, but is somewhat overpowered by the spices, unfortunately. Nevertheless, it remains a grand malt, do not worry!

You can easily call this a long finish, with sweet peat and dark fruit at the death.
