Old Pulteney 17 Year

Aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. Nose: light fruits (some pineapple), salted butter, mint, floral honey, vanilla Palate: brine, toffee, citrus, ginger, lemon candies Finish: brine, citrus Overall: this extremely briney whisky is not something I normally want (and the 12 year I did not like) but is different in some interesting ways and has enough age to give it the complexity to try out from time to time. Sample bottle only.

Nose light, floral, A little yeasty, bacon, Caramel, fruity Palate light to medium bodied, Pleasant, some maple syrup, Caramel Nice Finish Glass left with maple syrup aroma Note, the aroma benefits from several minutes in the glass, and the palate really requires 10 to 15 minutes in the glass. After waiting, this is a pleasant dram. Sample

Nose is light. Shows a touch of peat and salt, with a hint of caramel. Flavor shows great range and depth. Intriguing chocolate and butterscotch notes which eventually get swallowed up by salt. Salt consumes the finish, which lingers very nicely. Overall, an excellent scotch.
