Old Pulteney 18 Year

Quite different to the 15 year, as the flavors don’t really emerge until mid-palate. The finish is long and heavy on the wood spices. Tasty, but I preferred the 15. Likely to cost about $150 when it hits U.S. shelves, which is close to the price of the much better but discontinued 21.

The new Old Pulteneys are great. I may have preferred the 18 to the 25. Tasted at The Whisky Show London.
