Old Pulteney Navigator

Nose is a bit of fruit and sugar, almost like a pear pie if there was such a thing. The palate opens sweet and silky, and goes mostly nowhere from there. It's a bit sweeter than the 12yr, but lacks the depth and complexity, instead replacing them with astringency and dryness. The fruit and brine are most noticeable in their absence. This isn't really representative of the core expressions, and you would do yourself well to stick with them. Especially the 17yr.

Weirdly acrid, in spite of being light. Fishy?
