After running out on Highland Park 18 and the increase of the price for HP18 from € 60,- up to € 80,-. I starting to look for a alternative whisky. My interest went out to Old Pulteney 17. I've enjoyed the Old Pulteney 12, so why not give the 17 a go for € 60,- a bottle. Here we go!
Nose: vanilla, slightly salty, citrus, red fruit, malt. Taste: butterscotch, barley, salty, malt, spicy, red fruit, flowers. Delivery: barley, warm, dry, wine, long lingering taste, it keeps going and going and going.
A wonderful dram, worth every penny. It's not as good as Highland Park 18, but it's right up there on it's heals. This is definitely not my last bottle of Old Pulteney 17.

I've had the Old Pulteney several times and I enjoy it very much, but never had the 17. How do you compare the 17 to the 12? It sounds like is much of the same, except that the 17's flavors are deeper and more pronounced. Is that true?
