Looking at my empty bottle now

Someone's ( bonkers maybe ?) appraisal of this particular distillation......
Enjoy the HP Sauce CFH.
One of these famous malts that make us lesser mortals tremble. Batches #11 and 15 have been my favourites so far, let’s see if #20 will join them in the pantheon.
Colour: deep amber with brownish/orangey hues.
Nose: oloroso galore! Very big notes of raisins, chocolate, prunes, cherry liqueur, cloves... All that is nicely dry and even a tad smoky but that may well come from the alcohol. With water: it gets a bit more herbal and slightly wild as well as meatier. Is that English brown sauce?
Mouth (neat): very powerful of course but not undrinkable, quite astonishingly. Big sherry, big raisins, hints of mint and chlorophyll, litres of kirsch (just like when you put your nose over a demijohn)... But let’s not tempt fate – so, with water: gets more herbal again, with notes of thyme and rosemary, sage, bay leaves... Also quite maltier and even a little smoky. Finish: long, coating, elegant (yes) and spicier (pepper and ginger). Shoo, to the pantheon!
Speyside malt - you can't really go wrong
And Aberlour is high up that particular tree.
No, actually, it's shyte. Just package the bottle up and send it to me.
Terrible - tip it down the sink.

Yes!
Just about to finish the last dram from my bottle of batch 20...
A very different whisky, quite a beast as its cask strength, so it does well with a splash of (mineral, not tap) water...
Excellent, thanks all!
Usually have things like Ardbeg, so this seems a change. Batch 25 if that makes much difference.
Will be sampling soon....
i have a bottle of batch 25.
not tried any of the other batches but this is nice,
as above, a splash of mineral or filtered water makes it even nicer
