At the moment I'm finally enjoing my Highland Park Hjarta. I first got news of this late this summer, and since I've liked HP for some time, this was a must buy for me. As a scandinavian, norwegian to be spesific, I get to buy this special release in my local shop, Vinmonopolet. Talking about that. Why do we in Oslo have to settle for 5-6 bottles of this, while Tromsø got 20+ and Bergen around 30. At the moment it's not possible to buy it in Oslo, while Bergen and Tronsø still have 40 bottles to share. I actually feel discriminated at the moment, and partly regretting opening my own, as I was planning to have one unopened bottle in the cupboard as well.
It comes nicely presented in a black wooden box, with the hjarta logo on the outside in silver. The bottle itself is the usual HP style, but the labeling is a little bit more special.
I really like this whisky even if it differs from my normal preferred Islay whiskies, but I do need some whiskies in my cabinet that can be had without my wife throwing me out because of the strong odours. It's sweet and mildly peated, and has a nice taste from the sherry casks. I really need to get some more of this. As far as I can see the critics are praising it, and I feel privileged to have one in my whisky cabinet.
