Terribly disappointing for something so expensive. It's good whisky, but not $450 CAD good. PROS: the most amazing mouthfeel you will ever experience. It's full, thick - almost creamy and outstanding. The nose has hints of tropical fruits that are quite pleasant, and the palate is complex with fruit, vanilla and cinnamon. There's hardly any peat, unusual for an HP, which isn't necessarily a bad thing – just unusual. CONS: The finish is quite strong on spice, almost to the point of unbalancing the dram - water will go a long way, especially considering how high it's ABV is. Conclusion, I liked it, but I didn't love it.
