Old Pulteney 12

Bright yellow

Nose: Brine, heather, citrus juice and oil, warm spices. Something sweet like yellow cake, as well as cooked peaches, brown sugar.

Palate: Juicy fruits like figs. Has a gentle reek to it, with a kiss of hot pepper.

Finish: Very smooth and quite creamy. Bittersweet, and a light, lingering finish, suggestions of hazelnut and toffee.

Additional Notes
- Definitely "maritime" in that there's a seashore, briney dryness to the malt.
- It's a strange whisky because the flavors aren't arranged in any particular order, rather, one minute it's orange peel, the next it's crackers and shortbread.
- Quite nice, but I would prefer to drink it in the cooler months.
