8.6/10

Even oilier than the sister bottling at 62%. Elegant, syrupy heaviness in the profile, which gets a great counterpart through the fruit notes. The complexity is also right - the mentioned tropical fruits meet wood, spices, heavy sweetness and even subtle fresh tea and grass notes. Overall high class that Wild Parrot has presented here.

8.6/10

flavor is a bit simply and closed. disappointed. good hampden but it's too homogeneous, and it's very similar to other HDs generally. too few elements to avoid being dull. from nosing, taste, finish to more aspects: fruit, spices, woody, herbs… based on all dimensions, I would choice '92 HD and even some HD in the 21st century.
