I'm tasting it right now, and totally agree with the lemon, ginger aromas. I'd add belgian white chocolate and peachseed.

He got it from a Dutch chain called Dirk III. Said it was a special offer, still the last or only bottle at that shop in Amsterdam North. Just sampled my first dram... i must say, perfect. Have to admit that i'm a big fan of HP. Still, i like it even more than the 18y. My advice, if you find it, buy it. Just got one for Christmas from my dad in law.

I have no open fire heating, so I have to slaughter the crate. HP, please just sell the bottle for a few euros/dollars/pounds less and forget the woodwork. The whisky is really superb!!!

Do you know if this Highland Park will be in Duty Free? We had a great run of Highland Park single casks in the US a few years back, I tasted some outstanding casks that went to Oklahoma, Binnys, and Old Oaks. I wish Highland Park would do this again.

I recently (this morning) bought 2 Earl Magnusses, and there were still 6 bottles left. Sold in a big supermarket chain. I guess that they bought the Dutch consignment, because my normal retailer had never heard of it, till I told him. Because of the limited nature of the bottle, only 5976 bottles filled, there should be very few left. And they go for a premium price, I guess. (like £85). @Danny,

Around 55 Euro's per bottle (about 83 US or 45 UK) It sold out pretty quick as you can imagine. The bottle was available in Holland last Month but for a far lower price.

I look forward to tasting it. Torgeir, I don't think it has as much to do with how much we buy, but rather all the damned red tape and paperwork to sell whisky here in the U.S. Each state is like a different country when it comes to labeling requirements and fees.

Just opened my bottle of Hjarta, and enjoying it with the latest issue of Malt Advocate, wich arrived today. My point: Living in Scandinavia was benefitial at this point, but isn't allways. Prices on a lot of goods are lower in the US and as you are a big market, you get access to products I have to pay premium shipping to get my hands on, if at all. Your problem is; that in spite of being a big market, you don't buy enough of Scotch Malt Whisky to justify the cost of selling it. Sorry OK, this is me rubbing it in.
