Зрелый, сбалансированный Highland Park из бурбонных бочек — цитрус, табак, мёд, вереск при лёгкой дымности; опытные ставят высоко, остальные тоже хвалят качество, но сходятся, что цена не оправдана.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — табак, сено, цитрус и лимон, минеральность, мягкая сладость с ванилью, мятой и бергамотом, слабый торфяной дымок; после воды раскрывается белый шоколад, кокос и мята. Во вкусе — сладость и сливочность, спелая и кисловатая фруктовость (абрикос, зелёное яблоко), мёд, орехово-маслянистая плотная текстура, лёгкая пряность и перечность; послевкусие среднее или длинное, медово-вересковое, с землистой горчинкой и морской солью. Хвалят баланс, зрелость от хороших бочек и питкость даже без воды; критикуют избыток дуба во вкусе, а главное — завышенную цену и коллекционно-искусственный характер разлива.
Опытные ревьюеры ставят выше всего (88–90), отмечая премиальные бочки, обилие табака, цитруса и специй, отменную сбалансированность, и считают этот выпуск лучше более дорогого Loki; при этом предполагают, что низкие оценки идут от любителей хереса, которым непривычен уход от типичного хересного профиля Highland Park в сторону более мягкого, бурбонного. Остальные оценки плотно держатся в диапазоне 82–90 при высокой согласованности по вкусовому качеству; расхождения касаются не самого напитка, а оправданности цены и упаковки — многие прямо называют стоимость свыше 250 неоправданной, а сам разлив — хайповым, из-за чего бутылки осядут у коллекционеров нераспечатанными.
After quite a few years I could try again and my previous rating is still valid. Lot of tobacco, hay, citrus, lemony, spices, pepper, balanced and very drinkable. My favorite of this series if you can call this a series - the other one, the HP Fire Edition is not really my favorite.
I notice that there is a huge range of scores on this bottle and assume that some of the lower ones will down to sherry heads. On first nosing I thought I would not like this but it is actually a good whisky and takes water well. This is so much better than the much more expensive Loki.

No doubt there's been some premium quality casks at work here.
Tobacco, oak, citrus, bit of leather, spices, pepper, quite nice
Whisky starts in the fragrance as fruity, salty and slightly sweet. In the taste, the recognizable smoky taste and light pepperiness is immediately apparent. Still in combination with fruitiness and light sweetness. The finish is medium and is spicy and slightly sweet, the fruity then disappears to the background. With the addition of water, the character of the whisky changes considerably: In the fragrance there is now a strong sweet, white chocolate. In the taste and finish, this is mainly due to coconut and mint hints. Without losing the character or becoming weak. Conclusion: A delicious and versatile dram. Major drawback: the price / package. Bottle is of course beautiful, but in the end it is still to do the content. Had this whisky poured into a standard HP bottle and asked 70-75 euros for it, then he would certainly have been in my closet. Now it is doubly sinful: Because of its high price and collectors character, many bottles will remain unopened, so that this delicious whisky will not actually be drunk too much; For people (like me) who would want to drink with regularity, he is simply much and much too expensive. From a content perspective, a price of> 250 is totally unjustifiable. Unfortunately.

N: Heinz sandwich spread, cherries, some peat, Lowlands style - tomato paste-based peat! Did i clean my glass out properly? T: Needs water, then its delicious - supremely balanced. Doesn’t do a great deal, it simply maintains a rich, complete, balanced direction as a decent aged malt from good casks should do. F: Heathery with plenty of that age showing. Lots of vibrancy too but never over-egged. C: Seems that 30000 bottles is officially a limited run - Bowmore are on it too WB. Plenty to go round i think and I’m sure we will see hundreds of these doing the rounds at auction in the next few months/years. Well worth a try [sample] but i wont be stretching to a bottle at those prices - and anyway i think the standard 18yo has the edge [batch dependent] - although this has got a [genuine] small batch quality to it, despite the numbers. Well crafted that’s for sure. Scores a B [87]
N- Moving away from the usual sherried, spices rich and heather HP that we accustomed to with HP. This edition offer a different side of the viking. Softer, or more feminine I would thought. An elegant mature lady...with substance. Rounded vanilla, citrus and mint with hidden honey lying underneath the hefty strength. Earl grey tea, quite fragrant. P- Mature wood, cider, juicy sour fruits at first, follow by earthy, fresh honey, minted chocolate and thin layer of nutty oil after dilution. Quite charm and well behaved. F- Long and smooth, zesty green apple, fresh honey again with touch of welcoming earthy bitterness. May not go the extra mile to reach any greatness, but surely a different dimension of Orkney. — at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

Well-crafted and nicely balanced. The Ice has a bit too much oak on the palate, but is otherwise a success.
If you ignore the crazy price, it's a really wonderful HP.

Nice, clean ex-bc HP nose. Mineral, fruity, mildly sweet, gently smoky. |

Great to drink even without water. Sweet and creamy, with citrus and apricot as a counterbalance. Fat, oily texture. Fantastic quality. |

Honey, heather, slight acidity. Sea salt in the aftertaste. Flawless. |
Well, definitely interesting but one of the most artificial-looking hype bottlings of all time.

A really great whisky from the bourbon cask with a hint of smoke and lots of fruit. Completely convinced me in the blind tasting.
