This bottle has been on my wish list for some time and recently I was fortunate enough to receive it as a Christmas gift. Let's see how merry it makes me! Nose: Honey is prominent, as are baking spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The sherry casks are definitely presenting themselves here and there's just a hint of peat smoke in the background. Palate: This is definitely a lot to take in immediately. Really nice full mouthfeel. Definitely honey, but one of those less sweet fancy honeys where the bees were fed on something different like clover or blueberry flowers or something. There is some salted caramel and then the spice kicks in with more cinnamon and some black pepper. Finish: This is relatively long with a lingering tingling on the sides of the tongue from the sherry casks. The subtle peat smoke hangs around here as well, even for minute or two after leaving a dry cigar smoke mouthfeel. Peated whisky is generally not my preference but I'm a fan of HP 12 due to the less prominent peat. This is head and shoulders above that with much more flavour and even more subtle peat. The price point is well worth the cost and this is a bottle I hope you always have in my collection!
