Old Pulteney 21 Year

Smooth, but overpriced for what it is

This is exactly what I expected from a 21 year old malt from the coastal Highlands. Beautifully rich with vanilla and toffee notes from the bourbon casks. Slight sherry as well. Only a slight bite despite being 43%. There is a bit of that maritime saltiness in there as well. Old Pulteney stayed true to its character and created a true masterpiece! Too bad it’s discontinued for now but I’m happy to have gotten the last bottle at my store. 96 points.

Mellow, caramel, smooth.

Nice drop, vanilla, caramel, honey.. you get the bourban casks coming through all right not so much the sherry. Balances out nicely with the abv. Solid 4 for me..not quite sure why it's rated so highly on average on distiller though. I have a bottle but definitely not kicking myself for getting more.
