- Publication: Drinkhacker
- Excerpt: As it stands today, it compares just fine, though without any significant distinction, with any number of other unsherried 12 year old single malts (and some blends) on the market — particularly now that the price is creeping up to close to $50.

Intro:
This is the youngest expression in Old Pulteney's core line of age stated products. I have reviewed the 30yr before, and found it to be delicious.
-
Nose:
Honey, bread, bakery sweets. Faint brine, sea breeze, lemon tart and some gentle pepper.
-
Taste:
Sweet butter cream. Medium mouthfeel. Faint brine and the sea, honey and pears. This is a delicious, gentle blending of sweets, faint fruitiness and a nice touch of brine.
-
Finish:
Medium, no heat. Lemons, apples, pears. Brine, honey and toffee. Its sweet, fruity and salty in an impressively complex blend.
-
Overall:
I like this. It's a little on the light side, but it's enjoyable and notably very complex.
