Now because of your tantalizing review its now on my to buy list!. Thank you for your great videos. Horst it must be so special to you to enjoy these reviews and tastings with your son Ben.

    I agree with the Master and Ben ! Excellent Whisky . I had heard so much praise from friends in regards to this whisky , which is bellow $200 CDN - that I went and get myself a bottle today at an SAQ store here in Montreal in the city of Westmount on Sherbrooke West. It was their last bottle also ! I'm enjoying it right now ! I strongly recommend this excellent product .

    My brother bought me HP 18 bottle. I was a bit upset at the amount he spent but damn...this Whisky is so smooth, smoky and good! I shared this bottle with some friends and they thought the same. One of my best whiskeys from the Highland region.

    Great review, as always, guys. My wife bought me a Highland Park 12 about 10 years ago just as I was properly getting into whisky and I wasn't a big fan. I had the HP 12 Viking Honour recently and I loved it. Now, based on this, I need to move up to the 18, too. Cheers.

    I feel very lucky that I had a bottle of HP 18yo. Your review is spot on. It was so delicious my only regret is that the bottle is now very empty. I did share it with a couple of whisky loving friends though ( which, if I'm honest, I also regret a wee bit 😉)

    Hi gentlemen, I wondered if there was any difference between the old HP 18 year old and this new Viking pride edition apart from the fancy bottle. Which one do you prefer?

      Take a look on earlier reviews of HP, as I can remember Horst has mentioned about that difference.

    Is this worth to buy? I have tried the 12 which is a absolute favourite the 14 yo is also a wonderful one, but the 18 yo cost 100 euro for me buy :/ thats because I live in sweden, so again is it worth the money or should I pass up on this one?

    • @3UZFE
      @3UZFE Рік тому

      Good question! I love the 12 years, it certainly has a uniqueness that makes me keep coming back to it, especially for the price, it's one of the best quality to price ratio single malts on the market. I sat on buying the 18 years as I couldn't find a good price, most places were asking 2.5-3.0 times the price for an 18 over 12, but then I found a place selling it for only twice the price. Decided to give it a go. All I can say is if you like the 12, you'll love the 18, it takes everything up a notch, the aroma is more matured and smoother, sweeter on the nose. On the palate it confirms it was worth the investment, rich, complex absolutely smooth, seems more oily than the 12 years too. Finish lingers in your mouth with different flavors moving around, especially dark chocolate oaky notes which I absolutely love. A real treat!
