Old Pulteney 25 Year

Complex and deep but surprisingly has a little bit of a burn, more so than the 21. This one just isn’t worth it for me, good thing I only got a sample. 93

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

** Disclaimer: This review is what I would consider a “Quick Hit”- meaning I won’t have my usual in-depth notes that I usually like to take. The reason: this sample was poured at Whiskyfest DC on 4/17/18. All of these reviews will not be scored and I am actively looking to try them again at some point to do them more justice. We made our way back to the OP after the VIP hour ended to try this 25yo and the NAS Navigator. This 25 had similar maritime notes along with a fuller and richer sherry presence. It was still a bit rough around the edges, if you compared it to Macallan or Balvenie, but overall it was a very nice, salty sweet dram. I think I’m going to look into buying a bottle of this one to drink. I’d give it 4.5 stars all day long. Cheers.

I actually had 35 year but I can’t find it. It was absolutely delicious and amazing.
