You know what’s a good whisky? Old Pulteney 12 is a good whisky.

Scotch Deathmatch Final:
Old Pulteney 12yo versus BenRiach Curiositas 10yo
It’s a close run thing but we have a winner. Both are battle-weary but the Curiositas emerges triumphant and the Pult is pulp. When it came down to it in the final the OP’s salty fruitiness was not on a par with the BR’s smoky sweetness.

I have too large a backlog of samples and miniatures to go through. Rather than being liberated by the banquet of choice available to me I become tyrannised and paralysed by it. But before you cry me a river, I have found a solution. I selected sixteen scotch whiskies that are 12yrs or younger or NAS to battle it out in a Scotch Deathmatch. It’s my incentive to lighten the logjam. Follow along if you care (and really why should you?). Oh the drama!

@Benji-Robert if you’re a fan that’s a good call. I haven’t tried the new range but others here say that the quality still holds up.
I've been snapping up all the curiositas I see as its discontinued to make room for the new core range.
@Scott_E thanks, yes it’s a good one alright and i liked your review of it. I have a sample of the 17yo and looking forward to trying it.
Old Pulteney is one of my favorites all around. The 12 is a great summer beach house sipper. The 17 is great and the 21 even greater (unfortunately discontinued). It is/has been interesting following your journey.
