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.
Chocolate peanuts, mint, citrus peels, maritime elements and white pepper.
Toffee, brine and lemon.
Ok whisky. I’m not getting all the flavours from previous reviews but it is very smooth going down. Wouldn’t buy again.
Just been bought this one , 12 year old , first Pultney whiskey I've had and it seriously won't be the last . Smooth and just a divine finish to follow .
My son gifted me this exquiste highland whiskey when I retired from the Fire Deparment after 33 years. It was the first time I have had it and it is now one my go tos. I find the clear light golden color very pleasing. The nose to me has some vanilla, and some of the advertised sea elements. It is very smooth from start to finish, and I particularly enjoy the taste at mid tongue, with some subtle citrus and spice. The finish is dry with no harshness as you swallow.
Fabulously moreish
A palatable sweet whisky. Delicate flavours with notes of butterscotch.
