Tasting Notes
"Lots of juicy pear and peach and quite sweet because of it, especially considering there's plenty of vanilla and a whisper of honey here as well. Voluptuous, but not overly complex. The palate is dry and salty with a nutty edge. Subtle notes of grapefruit as well, accompanied by ginger and white pepper, and a whiff of malted barley. Good whisky and a nice introduction to Old Pulteney."
