Old Pulteney 12 Year Old

Definite tang of brine when you first stick your nose in the glass. Well balanced but unremarkable. Good value for money though at this price!

not being a great fan of whiskeys in general, and scotch in particular, i approached my birthdat present with caution. What a revalation !! At last, a single malt I can drink and enjoy! To my uneducated palate it is pleasantly smooth but challenges the taste buds to a duel of flavours. I'll certainly be buying more when this bottle is empty, (won't be long ), and may even stretch to the 21 yr version!! Bring it on.

Take a sip, close your eyes and allow yourself to be transported to the north coast of Scotland, where a howling cold wind blows, with sea spray and rain hitting your face, then allow this beautiful Whisky to warm you from head to toe. Love it.

I liked it,but i would like a bit more smoke in hte ending

Beautiful, slightly salty and fruity with a gentle finish. A good starting point to explore the world of whisky.

Beautiful. Unpeated, slightly salty with a terrific nose and silky mouth feel. Fruity, complex and delicious.

A great, great malt. Simple as that.

This is the best for our family:)

Outstanding quality, a unique highlander unlike anything from the region.The best value, loved it.

"Nose"Honey, vanilla, and almond notes mingle - this has clearly been aged in both bourbon and sherry casks."Palate": PalateLight bodied. What was honey and almond on the nose turns to sweet malt and marzipan notes on the palate. However, upon transition to mid-palate the salty brine element becomes abundantly clear, marked by a noted tanginess. "Finish": a nutty, slightly honeyed feel, with the oak providing a clean, unobtrusive dryness.

Lovely dram which integrates the bourbon and sherry notes alongside the sea side / sea spray which transports you up to Wick. Full bodied and smooth with a long finish a class act. Oh yes don't put ice cubes in it!!! Just a drop or more of water if needed.

Whether new or veteran to single malt, this is a very good whisky. Amazing orange nose slightly diluted, with a cool, refreshing sea spray across the palate, smooth spice, then a nice smoke on the medium finish. You'll want to stock up!

Definitely try it with a splash of water, otherwise tastes and smells a bit dull. Still very good for the price , love the bottle too.

My favourite. Love the salt and citrus flavours. Hope to get an older bottle as I age. Just turned 30 and loving exploring Scotch.

I'm not a big fan. It reminded me of a speyside..

got given a bottle for my birthday. very good,would like some more please:)

lucky enough to get a bottle for my birthday. very nice. hope to have this again.

this is a brilliant malt. perfect for people just getting into whisky drinking as i think this covers all the bases. highly recommended.

Not the Manzanilla of the north it was once (Michael Jackson), but still one of the best examples of a coastal whisky. Lovely and smooth, a little salt and sea air, I too drink it strait.

very fine and exceptionally smooth malt. A good starting point along with the Glenlivet 12 for beginners, as the flavours are easily discernible, with a very light "burn". I use these two to introduce others to the proper appreciation of single malt. No ice or mixers allowed
