Old Pulteney 12 Year Old

A delicious excellent value malt - difficult to beat in my opinion

A whisky I keep coming back to,live it!

This whisky is the ideal one for me. A strong nutty full bodied taste (with some citrus too) and then a salty and sharp after finish. At the price you can pick up a malt of this complexity nothing else touches it!!

Although officially classed as highland, I think maritime is the best description for this whisky. It has an intense nose and palate, with spice and oak/sherry (Also some citrus notes) and then a tangy salty aftertaste. Frankly to find a malt of such complexity at this price takes little beating imho!!!

Smooth Taste and wonderful blend of aromas. Oban used to be my best - still is - but Old Pulteney is nearly as good - certainly one of the Best !!!

I have had this whiskey on many ocassions, but the bottle just purchased is musty to the point of un drinkable. It leaves a lingering mouldy musty taste in the mouth which is most unpleasant . Must be somthing wrong with this batch, I am going to return to the shop !

Clean aroma, mediun bodied and long-lasting taste leading to a subtle saltiness for the finish. I will be buying this again, mark my words, excellant stuff.

In my opinion - one of the best!!! Excellent value malt!!!

Decent tasting notes by The Chaps, but I would edit as follows; Nose: Crisp and clean. Great balance reveals notes of herbs and grist. (+ light fruit), (slightly herbal)Parsley(?), Almond.(brine) Palate: Balanced with medium body. Musty (never), nutty (lots of almond), (hint)sultana , (little)toffee, (moderate)spices. Oak.(Salt) Finish: Medium, oak, spices.(bitter sweet with almond, coconut, and salt edge). At this price this is an absolute joy. Water? 1tsp /30ml is more than enough. I think it's best as a staight wee nip.
