Whisky review : Old Pulteney 12 years Old bottled @ 40%

Whisky review : Old Pulteney 12 years Old bottled @ 40%

Colour: Light golden, straw, medium oily.

Nose: Wood sap, green apple candy paste, fresh cut wood, light green apples, yellow pear, some rough spirit notes, light refined sweet notes. Very nice nose, yet some flaws are apparent.

Mouth: Delicate arrival, green wood, apples, bitter wood, reflux of light fruits, a bit rough around the edges, eucalyptus, more green wood and wood sap. Similar, in terms of flavor profile, to the Deaston. Yet I'd prefer the Deanston.

Finish: remain constant on sap and green wood, apples, touches of honey and bitter-sweetness.

For 69,75 (SAQ) it's a tad pricey for a 12 years old. 55$ would be more appropriate.
Very stylish bottle ! Double necked bottled and a Mariner style !
This whisky is sure to win over any Virgin Oak lover and spicy-green wood flavours. But if budget is an issue, aim for the Deanston.
