Released as part of a fleet of new expressions by Old Pulteney in mid 2018, this 18 year old single malt is drawn from a combination of bourbon and Spanish oak casks. Excellent stuff as ever from this Highland distillery.
Cinnamon-spiced cookie dough, mature oak, a very light touch of charcoal.
Dark chocolate and green apple make for a great juxtaposition of bitterness and sweetness, while waves of vanilla and rye bread sit in the background.
Citrus, sea salt and wet grass.

I don’t want mention about the price. Look at whiskey itself, quality is superb, fantastic taste. Long long development
Also disgusted by the price hike. The 17YO wasn't cheap but it was just about ok for the quality.
Lovely whisky. Elegant with honey, fruits, spanish oak. Touch of dryness to balance the sweetness. Absolutely enjoyed this one!
Tried this recently in my local whisky bar in Bath. I was really entrigued to try it as always been a huge fan of the whisky old 17/21. It was good, as good as the old 17 but not worth the extra £35-£40. Hasten to say, I won’t be buying a bottle. Might take a look at some independent bottlings or other similar martine malts like Glen Scotia and Arran. It’s been a wonderful ride Old Pulteney. I’ll always look back with fond memories.
Only because last reviewer did not rate this bottling from its taste but from his price. I agree with your opinion as a whisky lover regarding the everlasting increasing prices in the whisky (and rum, and gin, and...) world, but one should not put a disastering note on a whisky that he has never tasted, or he should do it for 50% of the bottles on the market :(
