This isn't bad or without character, but it's a very familiar, stock character. Nose of honey, white wine, sulfur hints, grassy. Palate is... um... fine? Mild spice, mild smoke, some lowland-style grassy stuff, the HP character is here. Smoke increases in the long finish, but its a finish that kind of pushes me away. It grows a little off-putting the more I drink, and that's the problem here.
Cherry kool-aid. Less depth but more sweetness. Dirty ash and light sea salt. Complexity is lacking and flat. Similar to HP15 with a bit more fruit. [B-/B]
