Review transfer from Barreled from March 2016 Natural color of an orange-amber and non chill filtered to the best of my knowledge. Bottled at 43%. The nose of HP12 is exactly what used to think all whisky smelled like before I knew any better. The nose is intense and has dried pineapple, raisins, honey and peat. The peat is different from Islay peat. Not overly phenolic or medical but more floral due to the heather. After it sits in the glass for 20 minutes the aromas really become more developed. The palate arrives slightly spicy but turns sweet as the sherry casks' influence shows up. The finish has silky smoke and turns dry with medium-long length. A very nice dram. 4.25
