Hammerhead 28 Year Old quite impressed me with the smoothness, subtly, balance, and symmetry it achieves despite being basically forgotten for decades. This whisky manages to capture some of the flavors of Scotch while showing some of the delicateness of a Japanese whisky. Although I wouldn’t spend $350 on a bottle, the lucky 300 who do get their hands on a bottle of Hammerhead 28 are certainly in for an unusually complex treat.
