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.

My palate is not particularly sophisticated. But is describe my beloved Old Pultney 12 YO as sipping warm melted butter. After trying dozens of single malts I was introduced to Old Pultney at a tasting held at my club. It was love at first sip. What a joy it is to pour a wee bit, and slowly sip and savor while overseeing the grill or enjoying the calm of the evening or night sky.
Vanilla, citrus and dark chocolate. A really nice dram at a great price.
Dark chocolate, citrus honey and a coastal hint, at a great price.
Buttery and slighlty sea salt caramel chocolate vibe. The sides of the tongue get a beautiful oily texture. Smells fantastic and tastes even better. Worth every penny
