  • What else can I say. The 12 opened the door and the 17 made me a fan.

  • You should be given the option to add a few Euros to be allowed to buy it at a higher strength. Other than that, I find this recent batch pretty fantastic and more brilliant than older ones.

  • Fresh brine and subtle mint emerge occasionally and linger on the finish. Nicely balanced, more complex with a wider range of flavors than the Old Pulteney 21 year old.

  • By Anne-Sophie Bigot
  • A rich and sweet palate with tons of toffee, brown sugar, honey, raisins and citrusy hints. The lingering oaky finish makes it a go-to for any occasion.

  • More gentle/boring than the 12 but also more refined. Not phenomenal though, still.
