General description

The best whisky I have ever tried!

Nose

Iodine style peat. Sea air. Malt. Dried fruit. Toffee

Palate

Superb blend of flavors.

From Highland fruits/malt (40%) to Island sea spray (20%) with some light Speyside notes (20%) and Islay peat (20%) thrown in for good measure. nice and oily too so adding water takes it up a notch!

Finish

Super long and oily. Zero alcohol burn and with an exceptionally long finish (15seconds+)

I have been looking to pick up one of these old style label 18s for a good while. All the liquor stores in the area which have them want a pretty penny for them. I took a chance after work today to stop by an out of the way liquor store where I have previously found a couple interesting whiskies, what a surprise to see two of these old style HP18s sitting on the shelf at a very reasonable price. On top of that the clerk gave me a nice discount for buying both. I had to break one open right away.
Wow! What a fantastic whiskey. Best I have tasted so far. The nose is heavenly, the palate is like nectar of the gods, the finish is long, smokey, sherried and oh so satisfying.

General description

lichte rokerige visvet geur, zachte smaak met rokerige visvet geur als afsmaak

General description

In der Nase nussig und fruchtig nach Aprikosen/Orangen und Heu. Im Vergleich zum 12er kein Rauch.

Im Mund leicht salzig, fruchtig und leicht rauchig. Insgesamt - und vor allem im Vergleich zum 12er - rund und voll.

Im Abgang wiederum leicht rauchig (weniger als beim 12er), Zartbitterschokolade und Blutorange. Insgesamt etwas "dunkler" als der 12er.

Schöner Malt und logische Steigerung des 12jährigen aber mit schlechterem PLV.

Note.: 1-

General description

It is a nice whisky, but because of the price I would prefer to buy similar but cheaper ones like the 10 year old

General description

Figs, apricot jam, and honey on the nose. On the palate more honey followed by vegetal and smoke. Thin body with fairly long finish. Not an overly complex with too many flavors but is extremely well balanced. Not a single flavor overpowering, finishes with slight peat smoke that is pleasant and not harsh.

Slightly better than the 12 yo. Slightly better balanced. Round and complex. Smoother and more mature than the 12 yo. More emphesis on the sweet fruity flavor. Too expensive compared to the 12 yo imo.

General description

very good, nice, smooth and rich enough

General description

Lightly peated and full of depth.

General description

Delicious mixture of vanilla, heather, smoke and faint peat. One of the most complex and delicious whiskies I’ve ever tried. Amazing.

Now this is a nearly perfect drop. Sherry friut in combination with the sea and aromatic smoke. Well balanced

Extremely enjoyable and satisfying. Plenty of character and depth without compromise. Perfectly balanced.

Honeyed fruits, rich oak culminates in a nutty body with a faint waft of smoke

Palate

Wonderful rich flavours, sweet fruit, cinnamon and allspice, the nutty elements turn a more bitter coffee. Creamy body.

A brief kick as the finish kicks in, quickly mellowing into a smooth, rounded and sweet lingering finish.

General description

terrible whisky. there is so much more that is so much better! (and cheaper)

General description

Excellent dram, rich and flavorful. Far too expensive for my budget, except in sample form, but Damn, it's good.

General description

sampled this with hp12 (my favorite daily dram) and hp25(which is perfection) this was still an excellent whisky, pricy but worth it, will definitely make this a special occasion bottle.
