I drink Balvenie Portwood with my Saturday cigar. However I like to try other Whiskies with my Wednesday cigar.
A couple of weeks ago I thought I'd give Old Pulteney 12 year old a go, since I'd heard good things about it.
I bought it here, at the Whisky Exchange,
For a ?27 Scotch this is a bargain. It's got a great smooth taste to it, and warms the cockles of me heart. I don't detect a strong salty taste at all, perhaps a little but nothing that I wouldn't have detected without reading reviews beforehand then looking for it actively on tasting.
Downside? As stated in other reviews it has a weak finish. However this is a 12yr old ?27 Scotch we're talking about! If that finish didn't fade and drop off as early as it does then I'd be reviewing a ?100 21yr od Scotch!
This is not a smokey or peaty Scotch, it's quite fruity (in my opinion). So be warned those who like a peaty dram. However at its current price anyone who drinks Scotch on a regular basis is missing out if they pass this gem by.
