Old Pulteney 12 Year

r: spicy and burny. Cheesy? - d: serviceable, not unique. A little more astringent in the scent. Sweet. Tasted at hotel out of tea cups after a full day.

n:typical bourbon, toffee, vanilla, hint of honey and oaky p: smokey, salty, not spicy, very mild sweetness f: long, salty, slight oaky bitterness overall a mild bourbon whisky with salty taste full of ur mouth

Dryness leaves a squeaky, salty brine in your mouth to battle the spice of bourbon. Though there is American influence, this is still all Scot.

Sweet, but not too sweet. Definitely close to bourbon, but not in a bad way. Nose is Carmely and sweet. Vanilla too. End definitely fades away to a lot of nutty-vanilla. Great ending flavor. Hint of smoke at the end.

In my fav bar for my last night down in ChCh for the forseeable future. It's a bit of an old Pulteney fest. This plus a cask strength 11 year Cadenhead and a 11 year connoisseurs choice. For the standard 12 I'm with scotchharding on this one. Niceish, mild vanilla and honey but little heft. 3.25 I'll give it.
