Old Pulteney 21 Year

Robbie Burns 2017

Bought a sample of this tonight over our monthly date night. I've had a few Old P's previously...always thought they were good, just nothing great. I stand corrected on this 21 yr old. Lemon shortbread cookies on the nose. Sort of like the old fashioned ones they had in prim and proper British tea houses. Really rich and elegant on the palette, mixed with a wisp of smoke and salinity. As if a Dalmore, Talisker and Balvenie had a love child. If any negative, it's gotta be in the finish. I found it a bit bitter and long, sort of like orange rinds. I paid $7 for a 2 oz pour...no idea what a full bottle is costing, but I'll definaltey be looking out for one if I find it at a reasonable price
