It seems to me, this often underrated series by G&M is on its way back to the shelves. Nothing would make me more happy. And finding the prices on HP CS sky-rocketing with their valhalla-series these days, this makes for a very affordable alternative. A mix of three refill bourbon barrels. The color is nutty golden. It smells iodine, coastal, salty, waxy, rich, perfumy, buttery, wheat, rich whisky. I'm suspecting a decent amount of peated barley has been used here. Remember, it varies at HP, or it could just be that it stands out a bit more due to the lack of sherried wood. The immediately releases a flow of sweet cinnamon and vanilla notes. Quite extreme in its own right. The middle is more sweet'n'sour, pineapple and mango. The finish is long and peppery. Although the nose was the star here, its a whisky for anyone who loves the HP profile.
Complex nose, sweet palate, peppery finish: 8
Next tasting: Caol Ila Distillery
