Old Pulteney 12 Years is a revered single malt Scotch whisky known for its maritime influence and distinctive flavor profile. Crafted in the Pulteney Distillery, located in Wick, Scotland, this expression represents the essence of the coastal town it calls home. The distillery, established in 1826, is renowned for its unique location by the North Sea, which plays a crucial role in shaping the whisky's character. Old Pulteney whiskies often carry a subtle brininess and a hint of sea air due to the coastal climate where the casks mature. This particular expression, aged for 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels, embodies a harmonious blend of sweetness, fruitiness, and a touch of coastal salinity, making it a distinctive and cherished offering among whisky enthusiasts. Appearance: The whisky has a rich amber color with golden hues. Aroma/Nose: Notes of oak, vanilla, and caramel are prominent, followed by a hint of wet wood. Palate/Taste: Initial taste is a bit sweet with classic fruity tones. Smooth and soft. Finish: There is the most interesting part - the finish is medium-long and warming with notes of wet wood or dampness with smoke. Overall Impression: I've really enjoyed it and would say you should taste it before Talisker.
