This 17 year old from the Pulteney distillery was a double gold winner at the 2006 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, matured in Spanish Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks.
These bottles were part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
The nose is clean and fresh with great balance. There is a profusion of fruit, from fruit salad with honeydew melon and pear to dried fruits, sultanas in a hot cross bun, fresh from the oven, a lightly salted butter melts over it with notes of fudge and a hint of something vaguely green. There is a lovely creaminess to the nose with notes of soft whirling smoke and crème fraîche. The palate is quite full and very sweet with sugared citrus peels and toffee. There are some notes of beeswax and honeycomb and fudge rises with malted barley and cereal sweetness. The finish is long with a herbal edge and a chewy oak.
I cannot follow the tasting notes with My skills but Its really soft, very nice taste with Long after taste and the perfect strength. Wishing for another glass.
My luck is still with me. Nova Scotia recently discovered a few cases of OP 17 in their warehouse. What a fantastic find and to top it off they put it on final clearance for $ 91.00 Canadian. I thought getting it for $103.98 was outstanding. 13 bottle in inventory now. so so lucky.
I think it is awesome, smooth and full.
Brought this along with 2 other bottles of excellent single malt, on holiday with friends. After sipping the OP for a couple days, it just started to get syrupy sweet. Wasn’t enjoying it after that. I drank the others instead.
Along with the Glendronach 18, this is my favourite whisky. Trumps the OP 21 in my book.
