[ENG/PL]
It's not a standard light fruity whisky. Mineral note is noticeable. That saltiness is not very strong though. Nice and different. I like it.
[PL]
To nie jest standardowa, lekko owocowa whisky. Jest tu wyczuwalna mineralna nuta. Mimo wszystko ta lekka słoność nie jest bardzo intensywna. Przyjemna i inna. Lubię ją.

General description

Salty and fresh. If you close your eyes and smell you can pretend to be on a cliff on the highlands. Quality price ratio makes him a best buy.

General description

whisky pulito, al naso frutta sale e mare, gusto rotondo si sente lo sherry e il sale fa da padrone molto molto valido per questo prezzo

General description

Maritime whisky without peat and smoke.
On the nose: chalk, sea wind, salty breeze and perfume. It’s like walking on the sea shore.
On the palate: smooth malty entry, salty notes, toffee and berries. Light oaky touch in the finish. Very good and interesting malt.

General description

Butterscotch and saltwater. A perfect blend and finish.

General description

A salty, fruity and sweet drinker

Nose

Caramel, salt, pear, almonds

Palate

Some salt and a lot of fruits like pear and peach.

Finish

Finishes with the almonds and some chocolate/coffee notes

General description

Salty start, followed by vanilla, honey and various summer fruits. Smooth, solid, good dram but nothing too extraordinary. It says bourbon and sherry casks, but in my opinion it is at least 80% bourbon.

General description

Complex mix of salty, malty, fruity and sweet and salt. Vanilla/coconut in the nose. Very nice one!

Nose

Malt, salt and exotic fruits, vanilla/coconut

Palate

Flowery and honey, hints of citruses, slightly salty

Medium lasting, but very nice mix

You can taste the salt a bit and it has a sweet flavor to it.

Salty flavour. Little bit sweet.

Gentle & sweet, nutty spirit on the nose, light body, light colour, oily on the glass with a mild wine & cereal taste, nice medium finish. Not a real favourite for me but its not unpleasant!

Delicate, dry, nutty.

Nos: sól morska, takie świeże powietrze, wanilia, miód pitny, świeży chleb, gdzieś daleko cytryna. Smak: delikatna sól podbita gorzką czekoladą, słodem. Finisz nie za długi, ale przyjemny, czekoladowy, gorzkawy w dobrym znaczeniu, lekko rozgrzewający, trochę toffi na końcu.

General description

nice and sweet, excellent taste, but a bit hot, works great with a little h20 and 20 minutes!!

General description

Excellent choice for beginners looking to broaden their horizons with a slightly more challenging malt that is still interesting enough for intermediate’s wanting a cost effective, delicious whisky that never gets boring!

Nose

Sea spray, malt, dried fruit, banana, honey

Palate

Nicely salty, classic Highlands style dried fruit. Hint of toffee. Banana

Finish

Surprisingly silky after the initial salt. Adding water is arguably a must do. Sweet, lingering and moreish

General description

nice lingering spices with some salt to it.I like it neat.

General description

salty

Nose

salty, seabreez, citrus, oak

Palate

citrus, Fruty, salty

Finish

short to medium

General description

It took me over half the bottle to fully get to terms with this one, as it was all a bit shy, perhaps even a bit boring and underwhelming at first, but my patience was rewarded as it opened up nicely several weeks after opening and a weekly pour. I've tasted better batches of the 12 yo Old Puletney to be honest, but it's by no means a stinker.

Nose

82

orchyard fruit with apples and pears, followed by some citrus notes, clove, vanilla, licorice and the signature light salty touch of Old Pulteney.

Taste

81

The nose continues wth the fruity elements and the salt being more prominent, along with some honey sweetness.

Finish

78

medium long, dry, sweet and salty

General description

Harsh on tongue, sweet in mouth, oak&cherry

General description

sweet & mild

General description

Great whisky!

General description

salty, fruity, reminds me a bit of Scapa!

General description

The complexity and excellence of this malt is outstanding for its price point. The nose is probably slightly too sweet for my taste and the salinity is just slightly too heavy, which for me drops this just outside the 90’s. But still an incredible dram nonetheless and for the price, one to keep stocked in the cabinet at all times!

Nose

The nose opens with a huge sweet honey influence, which gives way to oak, vanilla and sea air.

Palate

On the palate, there’s chocolate and more oak, before the salinity and citrus notes of this whisky really start to open up on the tongue and finally a peppery spice influence develops.

Finish

The finish is medium to short, but what it lacks in length is more than compensated by incredible complexity. The citrus really plays out in the finish, with salt staining the tongue. This gives way to chocolate eclair sweetness at the last (almost post finish if you know what I mean).

General description

easy drinking

Nose

A lot of salt. Vanila and oak.

Palate

More salt, like drinking the sea. Oak again. Not so oily.

Söt och fruktig med honung och aprikos, en aning vanilj också.

A bit too much fruit and banana, but I love the brine! Needs a few drops of filtered water to smooth it out.

General description

tasted like rusty pennies. maybe I got a bad bottle, but this was the worst whisky I've ever had.

Very good allrounder.

General description

Een heerlijk gebalanceerde whisky, met een neus van vanille, honing en caramel in combinatie met een ziltig randje. De smaak is sherry-fruitig, zoet met een hint van zout. Laat een room-achtig gevoel achter op de tong. Een top whisky voor zijn prijs en een heerlijke door drinker!

General description

Average flavor, very mild compared to whiskys that I usually choose to drink. Probably not one I'll return to in the future.

General description

Nose: fruity sherry / flowery. Taste: oily texture / vanilla / sherry / corny / spicy but not much / a little wood / flowery. Aftertaste: pleasantly oily / easy / a little salty. Nice whisky for a good price (about €35,00)

light with iodine and a small grapefruit flavour on a salty soil

Palate

round with a fruity taste. quite light.

Finish

on a salty iodine.

General description

Très marin et iodé.

General description

Gekocht voor ome Rens. Bij toeval een goede keus! Licht zoet, geen zware afdronk, niet heel bijzonder van smaak. Lekker voor een beginnende liefhebber.
