Has been standing a bit. The last time was a good solid whisky, which I would buy again. Now...(after having an Aberfeldy 12) Nose: alcohol hits first, so I am just getting a slight burning sensation and don’t smell too much. Taste: smooth with very slight peat in background Finish. Sweet and long with slight burn in the throat. Last time I preferred the HP over he Aberfeldy as it had more presence and tasted fuller. ...now I am not that sure anymore...
