This is the first Orkney Island single malt I taste. Haven't tried any previous iteration of HP. Nose: Floral and sweet, faint heather and mildly peaty Palate: Arrival is honeyed orchard fruits, then heathery and a brief saltiness backed by the touch of peat smoke again. I get a subtle toffee as well. Finish: The peatiness fades out quicker than I thought it might. More fragrant heather and something sweet persisting to a moderately dry end. An interesting enough dram to begin my peated malt journey. Although I have heard it said this whisky had once been more nuanced and a stellar value I am satisfied with the modern offering and quality for the price.
