Old Pulteney 15 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

The nose is Highland or Speyside bourbon-cask scotch, with a coastal, salty character. The palate is pretty much the same, with a full mouthfeel. Barrel spice and salt in the finish. If this were peated (sigh, wish), this could be a contender to an HP15 (though, I've never tasted the latter). It's that good. Thanks for the experience @jonwilkinson7309 , you're a gentleman with taste. 50ml sample.

@Scott_E I've had a couple of the new from memory and the 15 was the only one that stood out. I haven't heard great things about some of the others from memory.
@Soba45 @PBMichiganWolverine I loved the original range of OP and I am hoping the new range is at least in the same vicinity of quality. I believe the 12 dropped down to 40% to from %43. Looking forward, still, to trying the new. “Meet the new boss.” Hopefully the same as the Old (Pulteney) Boss!
i need to drink more old pulteney, i haven't tried that many and it seems this new range is good.
@PBMichiganWolverine I was never a huge fan of the old range. I think i placed this below the old 21 but above the 17 yr. Max score I've ever given a OP is 4
@Soba45 better than any of the older versions or on par?
Nice review. :-) Definitely my favorite out of the new range
