Tastes

Lovely whisky. Massive hit of spicy that plays on the lips, and compliments the sweetness. The colour is a deep amber gold, possibly my favourite glenmorangie

Truly lovely. From the labelling design to the name itself, you are directed to thinking “fruit” and from the first taste it’s evident. A real sweetness, almost off the scale, the sweetest whisky I have tried. - peachy

I don’t know what’s happened to my taste buds. Use to like bulleit - took a break, went back to it - and no all I can taste is banana

I headed out to by my usual malt, the auchentoshan 12 for Xmas, but two whisky shops I visited put forward a strong case to forget the 12 and try the three wood..... initially I wasn’t getting much on the nose, the flavour is smooth but maybe a slight to much dry oak for my taste, maybe.... there’s a pleasant Carmel/treacle teaser in there. I don’t pick up the cinnamon that it mentioned in the distillery notes. I am in LOVE with the colour. I did a side by side comparison with the 12 - and yes, the recommendation is right, but twice the price better??? Hmmm

Been a big fan of auchentoshan - it’s my “local” distillery I suppose and I have visited a few times, it’s a great attraction. The 12 was my whisky of choice for many years, but as I’ve aged my tasted buds have changed and I tend to aim for something slightly smoother now - this is still a great whisky, and tripled distilled for that almost Irish feel

Great story behind this amazing blend. On the very first pass by my nose, from the bottle pre poured, I thought I was smelling a complex red wine. Once poured and settled my nose calmed and I picked up everything I like in a whisky. Taste there’s a vanilla and sweetness there to balance out a bit of mild spice. There an ever so slight hint of smoke and oakyness 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻..... on my second serve I made it as an old fashioned and all those light fruit tones came to the forefront. I can see this becoming a real favourite. If I was comparing it, then black bush, or a less spicy monkey shoulder

Ommmgggg amazing I have been waiting a lifetime for a whisky that suits me like this. It’s smooth, a lovely balanced spiced flavour, vanilla is noticeable. Truly beautiful - proud of my city

A right kick of spicy with a subtly oakyness

This is surprisingly good. Not a fan of the standard JD but this I like

Old Pulteney is like the girl next door of whiskey- you might not necessarily try n head out to buy it, but when it’s there on the shelf at the end of the night you’ll pick it up, pour a glass and be comforted in an old familiar way, relaxed and safe in the knowledge you know how to handle it.... just a slight hint of smoke that balances out the sweet fruity wick tones of Caithness
