Old Pulteney Navigator

Tasted at Whiskey Obsession 2018. Women of Whiskey /Bourbon Women brunch. Salted caramel.

"** 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. After being slightly disappointed by the VIP pour of the OP 35 I eventually worked my way back to their booth to try the 25yo and the Navigator. This NAS was surprisingly good even though the heavier than expected salt and sea notes powered the malt while leaving behind a bit of soapiness hanging around longer than I’d have preferred. It was still mostly enjoyable and I’d like to try it again soon. The 25yo was the highlight from the OP booth. More on that one later.

sweet, and salted spicy finish, strong

Dramfest `18. Towards of end of day 2 and near the 80 mark from memory so it didn't really have much of a chance. Came across as pretty standard. Solid 3....will have to crack open a bottle of the 21 I have some time :-)
