Old Pulteney 12 Year

Currently my favorite dram. A lot going on from the opening barley sugars through the salted caramel to the pineapple/apple notes and lingering stone fruits. Fresh and engaging, good for a long wind down.

Old Pulteney 12, a 12 year old single malt scotch whisky hailing from the Highland region. Price $60.00 Sampled 12/2/15 with 3/5 teaspoon of water in a Glencairn spirits nosing glass. Aroma - Barley sugar, lemon, currants, plum, almond paste, cereal, yellow cake, icing, cocoa butter and creme brulee. Taste - Distinct cilantro, sea salt, herbal, vegetal with a vanilla and almond finish. Finishes with a medium lingering flavor and burn. Final score : 5 / 5, wow, what an insanely complex, two-faced scotch. The nose and palate are two different worlds but both are gorgeous and work together flawlessly. Would definitely buy again.
