Whisky review: Old Pulteney 21 years old, bottled @ 46%

-Whisky of the year 2012
-Very nice bottle

Colour: Dark gold, oily, long legs, looks very thick.

Nose: Reminds me of the Cragganmore 12, very fruity, fresh, juicy, wood notes, hints of peat smoke, white grapes, lavender. Very interesting nose indeed !

Mouth: Caramel, sweet, thick fruity juice, coats the mouth, thick but light ! apples, pears, malted barley, vanilla notes, juice in wax tubes.

Finish: creamy sweet wood notes, long sweet and more sweetness. Waves of caramel and vanilla....

C for the price. It stands at 181$ (SAQ) or 230$ (LCBO) it's definitely not something every one can afford. I'd suggest instead the 12 years old. Better pricepoint.
B for the taste. It's good single malt but for a 21 years old, I would love something else than caramel....
A for presentation. Very nice bottle, double necked. Cheap carton tubing, fells too cheap.
