    Bought my first bottle of the 12 YO, so thought I would have a line up tonight. Went through the 12,17,21, and last, a sample of a Gordon Macphail 34 YO bottling I lucked into. Briefly, the 12 does not… read more

    Old Pulteney combines what must have been years of cold ocean wind swept days and contrasting shorter summers that brought honeyed flowers. You can taste both the summer and the deep foggy seaside winter… read more

    This is one of those drams I’ve been itching to try for a while now. It’s roughly $55 Canadian at my local whisky store here in Taipei. I’ve heard good things about it from both friends and online reviews… read more

    Until recently this Old Pulteney was the oldest in the range. On 1 November 2012 the beautifully packaged (but sadly un-tasted as yet) 40 Year Old was launched. That one will cost you around 2.000 EUR,… read more

    The best whisky in the world! No less than 97.5 points. Well, in 2012. According to Jim Murray. Could it be? I doubt it, but you never know. We will take our time for this one. It is a mix of bourbon and… read more

    The Old Pulteney 17 Year Old is quite a step up from their entry level version, the 12 Year Old. It will also cost you more than double. On the nose, it is a lot sweeter with loads of fruit: Pink Ladies… read more
