Nose

It's like sticking your head into a recently disgorged grist bin full of pineapple cubes, lime zest and kiwi fruits! There are plenty of soft fruits like apricot and nectarine. The peat is subtle but well integrated, and the intense hp distillate remains powerful.

Palate

Olive oil drizzled warm bread (made from Orkney bere of course!). Mint jelly, eucaliptus, old copper coins. The peat grows along with more fruits - nectarine & white grape. Some herbal notes, rosemary & spearmint. Water softens the power and brings more fruit to the fore.

Finish

Still huge and powerful. HP is such an intense distillate and one of the nest in Scotland!
