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.

Just tried first encounter with Old Puteney in Scottish hotel. This is going to be this year's new year whiskey.
Very good single malt. Well rounded. Good value as well.
This has to be one of the best Whisky's for the price. The flavor is very sweet, notes of vanilla, butterscotch and lots of amaretto notes. It smells nice, but the flavor really hits the mark. Excellent.
This one was a one of my first bottles when I was started my whisky adventure... I love it
The complexity and excellence of this malt is outstanding for its price point and an easy 5 star. The nose opens with a huge sweet honey influence, which gives way to oak, vanilla and sea air. On the palate, there’s chocolate and more oak, before the salinity and citrus notes of this whisky really start to open up on the tongue and finally a peppery spice influence develops. The finish is medium, but what it lacks in length is more than compensated by incredible complexity. The citrus really plays out in the finish, with the salt staining the tongue, which gives way to chocolate eclair sweetness at the last.
