  I like sweet whisky's and I was recommended to buy this as it is been discontinued. I found it to be very disappointing as the 12 year old. it is not as salty and spicy as the year old and a bit sweeter then they 12 year old but it still has salty and spicy taste. its very expensive also. far better choices out there for this sort of price.

  Very tasty. Initially picked up salt on the nose and inviting sweetness. Agree that sherbet features on the nose. Pleasing mouthfeel and presence through the spice is noticeable. Goes from sweet to woody quickly but the sweetness lingers the more you drink, almost sugary. Nice, long finish that is woody and sweet - like baked apples. A decent and pleasant whisky. Very different to the 12 which I adore. After nearly an hour after tasting the finish is still lingering. It does contain that briny, ever so slightly smoky Old Pulteney charm and I enjoyed this a lot. Amazing what 5 extra years can do!

  Well well well, this has to be a favorite allrounder. It has a little bit of sea, a little bit of fruit, some spicy sweetness and a nice fine touch of wood in the end. A mambo no.5 in the bottle

  Very, very good. I'd pick it up on offer without fail. Very rich while maintaining the Old Pulteney freshness. Almost too sweet on the palate at first but gives way to a slightly less sweet and woody finish which is very long.

  My favourite Old Pulteney. My bottle is running low. This is one whisky I always aim to have available in my collection so another purchase is on the horizon. Recommended to all.

  Meh its okay, I mean if you love "softer" whiskies then this is for you. Tastes like a 15yr old highland ex-bourbon malt. Didn't taste briney to me at all, and maybe the slightest hint of peat/smoke? same level or less then in the johnnie walker black

  Lots of fruit on the nose. Pear with brown sugar. Palate is quite dry with hints of oak. No real saltiness which sets the 12 year apart from similar aged malts. Lots of spice on the finish. I find this a little disappointing and actually prefer the lighter 12 year old.

  I was given a bottle of the 17yr old as a birthday present on my 70th . I was amazed at the taste and smoothness , it is a magnificent whisky . I will have to keep this away at the back of the cupboard .

  just bought this at duty free and was so pleased after just the first taste. Cant believe what a difference a further 5 yrs in the barrel makes over the 12 yr old. This whisky is superb and one of my new favourites. In-laws are off abroad soon, better put an order in!!!

  Really good! I was tempted to get the 21yo but went for this instead, even more tempted now as the 17yo is very nice...

  After years of trying single malt after single malt i now drink only this one. Best whiskey ive ever had in the sub £50 category. simply divine.

• MOZ 15 December 2011

  In my view the star of the range, even better than the 21yo. It is a complex whisky with delicious sweet and salty notes. Can't go wrong with this one.

  My favourite on the OP range. Beautiful, balanced, complex on the nose and smooth and soothing on the palate. Great whisky.
