Harmonisches "Gesamtkunstwerk" von HP. Voller Körper mit trockenen, roten Früchten, Bitterschokolade und Karamell, eingebettet in einen dezenten Rauch. Alkohol ist wunderbar eingebunden. Warmer, langer, sehr angenehmer Abgang. Toller Malt.

The best whisky I have ever tried!
Iodine style peat. Sea air. Malt. Dried fruit. Toffee
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!
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.

A master piece.

hints of cherries, tingly spice, pretty long
Dark fruits, classic scotch taste, malty, and sweet.
Plums, pears, almonds.
Dark fruits dominate. Sweet, malty, and very light spices.
Very light peat, fruity and malty.
Len och balanserad. Ganska mycket vanilj. Knappt någon rök.
Almost perfect
I hoped for more...
Sweet, dried fruits like raisins, honey.
Sweetness and soft smoked fruits.

Very nice dram with just the right about of smoke.

One of my favourites. Rich in taste and just the right amount of smoke.
Smoky, cherry,
Just amazing!
sweet,fruit,leather, ash amazing, oak finish, spicy finish
lichte rokerige visvet geur, zachte smaak met rokerige visvet geur als afsmaak
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-
It is a nice whisky, but because of the price I would prefer to buy similar but cheaper ones like the 10 year old
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.
good
sehr angenehm, abgerundet leichter torfrauch, schön, einfach ein toller malt
sehr angenehm, abgerundet keichter torfrauch, schön
Rund und rel. Komplex. Dezenter kaum wahrnehmbarer Rauch.
in der Nase Nüsse und Früchte. Im Mund angenehm kräftig mit mittellangem Abgang. Am Ende anhaltende Wärme. Rauch quasi inexistent
Honey and toffee aromas with a very delicate smoke hint. Sweet and short finish.
nutty Vanilla sweet cherries
vanilla, Nutty
heavy creamy Vanilla, sweet Cherries, wood flavour, light smoke
back of the mouth nice smoke
smoke more than peat. great mouth feel. similar profile to the 12 but around better.
Great nose and mouth feel. Fantastic whisky. So well balanced. No water needed
Oily mouthfeel. Notes of sweet liquorish
Sweet, balanced
unopened but calling me
Just the right amount of sweetness and peaty smoke. This was a real treat.
with a nice flavor of dark-chocolate and vanilla
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.
very good, nice, smooth and rich enough
Lightly peated and full of depth.
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
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.
4 out of 5 stars
Lightly peated with fruit and honey notes, best I've tried, my favourite.
Solid whiskey. The warmth stays with you for awhile after a shot. The sherry taste definitely pulls through.
Warming gentle dram
Juicy, ripe oranges and peaches with a slight hint of peatiness.
Tingly,spicy, plums and milkchocolate.
slightly bitter, warm and mouthwatering.
Very well balanced,try it and enjoy it,with water open more citrus notes maybe some orange,round and sweet with nutty notes and smoke is just there not to much, overall very good all rounder,bit pricey but incomparable better than Highland park 12..
Heerlijke whisky met lange afdronk
Full fruity/sherried whiskey with quite a nice finish
clear citrus floral scent taste of honey with peaty finish. smooth and delicious
little smell. lightly smoked flavor. very smooth
Honey, oak, spice on the nose and the palate. Amazing all-rounder. Just the right amount of burn in the aftertaste, which, btw, lasts for a long tasty while!

terrible whisky. there is so much more that is so much better! (and cheaper)
Excellent dram, rich and flavorful. Far too expensive for my budget, except in sample form, but Damn, it's good.
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.
꿀이나 캬라멜향이 진득하게 여운남는 부드럽게 적당한 알콜향이 인상깊음 맛이 좀 깊어서 되려 캐릭터를 잃는느낌
mjuk lite lätt rök
lekker smooth wiskey
good.
