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.

A brilliant 12 year. I love the maritime essence. It's a good solid single malt.
Exceedingly smooth on the palate, currants and sultanas dissolving into a citrus squash, a spicy after taste comes through with a hint of beetroot.
Smooth, creamy, with an almost brandy finish. Easy to drink and moreish. Not great, few 12yo are great, but certainly OK for the price.
I remember liking OP12 but it's not the same anymore. Here we go: Nose: A bit of moonshine, and that's it. Palate: No, not really. Finish: Actually has hints of whisky. So in conclusion we have a cheap 12yo that's still not worth the money and despite it's weak 40% only smells of alcohol. Wow
This reminds me of a fine Meursault. This is pure, firm and lush at the same time, nicely aromatic, lighter to medium bodied, has a slightly stiff veneer on top and marvelous oily ripe banana, oatmeal and slight oak/vanilla note in the palate and retour. Talk about moreish. If this has a maritime/salty component it is well mixed into the bouquet and palate and supports/counterpoints everything marvelously.
