The Old Pulteney 12 is the kind of whisky that’s easy to drink, easy to mix and easy on the wallet. I want a little more complexity in my daily drinkers, but this is something that’s nice and easy to sip on and I’m really digging it for what it is. Sweet malty fruity aroma and a fruity, malty, spicy flavor make for a nice combo… really not a bad little malt. The fundamental nature of maturing whisky – deliberately but unhurriedly over the years – reinforces a near monolithic link to the past. This can be positively appreciated by exploring processes and practices from decades past, or from experiencing bottlings now defunct that capture a particular moment. Time doesn’t stand still, and nor does whisky. But, all too often I’m seeing the past manifest itself in a binary belief that things were always better before – a view that in some instances may well be true, but one which will only lead to perpetual disappointment – and higher secondary market prices for the things which once were.In July 2023, the distillery released its oldest whisky to date, the 45-year-old "Old Pulteney Bow Wave". [7] Awards [ edit ] A bottle of the 12 year old Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch whisky. Palate: Very nice flavor of smoky chocolate, with a immediate bite of spice, with a hint of fruit flavor, almost like dried dates. A very unique flavor, with the added brininess that seems to be a trademark of this distillery. B and B-: Good and above average. The best of the mass market whiskeys fit in this category, as do the bulk of the premium brands. A B- is three stars. Finish: Medium in length and combining creaminess with bitterness – latte coffee alongside steeped drying tea. Palate: Very much a nice light taste of smoky honey and almost fruity touch. Slightly brininess, that you would expect from something exposed to the salty sea air.

Final Thoughts: While definitely not as smooth as the Huddart, Old Pulteney’s 12 year old single malt Scotch whiskey is wonderful and can definitely stand on its own, apart from the Huddart. The sea air brininess is even more apparent in this offering. Rogerson, Paul (10 August 2006), "Old Pulteney raises spirits at Inver House", Glasgow Herald, archived from the original on 5 February 2016 , retrieved 19 June 2014 a b Pulteney Distillery, Visit Scotland, archived from the original on 26 July 2014 , retrieved 19 June 2014 Also, coinciding with these new single malts, Old Pulteney has partnered with Sustainable Surf for The Maritime Malt’s new Rise With The Tide Campaign. “With this new film series, the program puts a spotlight on the inspirational stories of those who, like Old Pulteney, work in partnership with the sea. Sustainable Surf is dedicated to protecting and restoring ocean health by shifting people to a highly desirable, low-carbon, ‘Deep Blue’ lifestyle.”Final Thoughts: The Old Pulteney 15 year old whisky definitely hits you right away with the spiciness. As the distillery states, this is a good balance of the spicy and the sweet. The spices hit you hard, but then the sweetness lingers on your tongue. This is a very unique flavor whiskey. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Unfortunately, the OP 17 has been discontinued (and the OP 21 followed soon after), but in its place, this Old Pulteney 15 Years arrived. I’m 99% sure this will beat out either of the NAS attempts listed above, so I’ll be comparing it to the whisky it replaced.
