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.

I also paid around 38-40. Great review ( as always)! I think you're overpaying, and with this particular fave, that is part of the beauty.
Brilliant assessment on an excellent scotch.

Yikes, $60? Where do you live. I bought my bottle for $38 about 6 months ago.
