We have a bottle of this from 2017 that we save for special occasions. It’s fun to compare notes my wife and I get now compared to back then. This is one of my favorites whiskies ever. It’s extremely complex and balanced. This go around we got:
T - raisin, licorice, butterscotch, banana nut bread, vanilla, clove, pecan and green apple
N - dense/oily, caramel, light fruits, floral, honey, oak, granola and tobacco
F - minty earthy/grassy peat smoke, clove spice, sea salt
The bottle we have is pre the viking pride rebrand so not sure if the new bottlings have changed at all. Either way HP was the scotch that got me into scotches so I’ll always be partial to it.
