I assume this is Highland Park whisky that has been finished in bottles which once held Drakkar Noir cologne.

Has anyone tried it yet? Btw Drakkar stands for the warships the vikings used to build.

Opened a recently-purchased bottle and tasted it tonight.
It's a bit light-bodied and sweet, but although I generally don't like light-bodied and/or sweet Whiskies, this one was OK with me. Didn't taste like a 52% abv, though. I'll have to taste it again, but I am not sure it's worth the 100+ Euros price tag. For that price the recently-rereleased HP 21 (at 47.5% abv) seems more alluring.

Tasted it in a World of Whiskies store in LHR and I liked it. Bought a bottle and it deserves every pound sterling spent on it. Rather sweet, a whiff of smoke, nothing excessive, very pleasant. Good, recommendable.

Has anyone tried the new expression from Highland Park, I believe this has been exclusively launched in duty free stores in Germany. My wife will be traveling to Europe in 2 weeks and will be returing back from Frankfurt, thinking of asking her to pick up a bottle.
