The 12 year old expression from Old Pulteney released in mid-2018 was entirely aged in bourbon casks, resulting in a heavy influence of bourbon sweetness - which helps to balance the characteristic coastal salinity of the whisky. An excellent introduction to Old Pulteney (though well worth a look even if you've already been introduced).
Honeycomb, vanilla tablet, soft sawdust oakiness and oatcakes.

Drinking right now. I only buy this when my local shop runs out of Port Askaig and Glengoyne and have drunk before, without joy and always thought was a bit boring. However I accidentally discovered the way this can really shine is to drink it with something salty to accompany. It really brings out the flavours very well somehow. There's some butterscotch, Werther's type sweetness which becomes very pronounced with the salt and seaweedyness. Highly recommend.
Staggered at some of the good reviews on here. Not a good whisky at all. So many better 12 year olds out there
Just purchased bottle 12 year old matured fine American oak. This is not the old pulteney that I have been used to,very disappointed and will not be buying again. I am trying to be polite because I think you have made a mess of this.what have you done. ?
Not the worst whisky I’ve ever had but a long way off the best. Agree with others that it tastes more like a blend than a single malt. I think you can get far better for the money, even at £25. Wouldn’t buy again.
I bought a bottle for the first time. A little disappointed given the good reviews seen. A little heavy on the spirit at the first taste. Slightly richer follow through and a slightly salty aftertaste. To be honest, it tasted more like a blended whisky than a malt. I’ll go back to Glenfarclas 10 year old.
