Old Pulteney 17 Year

I was lucky enough to get this bottle recently, though I didn't know how lucky until I learned after the fact that the 17 year has been discontinued. Knowing that, I'll have to savor this really exceptional bottle as long as I can. N: A bracing shot of seawater, lemon peel, wet earth, and a subtle amount of tartness. P: Bold citrus acidity, black pepper, salt. A pretty robust fruit presence, but not the richness of plum/raisin. Think young (not overripe) cherry and pomegranate. A hint of smoke. F: A slightly sweeter finish than the nose and initial entry would indicate. The salt stays, and gives a long reminder of the coastal influence on this whisky.

Woody, fruity and lemon on nose. Soft with some viscosity and sweetness. Finish is briny and creamy which adds to the smoothness and medium spice. Nice balance throughout.

Sweet and salty. Smooth yet complex. Excellent dram.

very nice. light salt great flavor
