Time to try it!
Old Pulteney 12
Nose: Quite delicate, with some hints of toffee,
Taste: A hint of salt to begin with, followed by a lot of sweetness, reminding me of honey, some white pepper and citrus zest
Finish: Long with lemon zest and a bit of bitterness coming from the zest
Pros and cons
Old Pulteney 12 is, in my humble opinion, a smooth, and easy-to-enjoy whisky.
The delicate maritime notes are highly delectable for my taste buds, but might not be everyone's favourite.
In Conclusion
Priced between £30 and £40 on UK websites, it's highly drinkable whether neat or with a drop or two of water.
It was delicious in an Old-Fashioned as well as in a Highball.
