Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Nose is a bit flat, cardboard.
P: Big fruit, light smoke. Goes down easy.
F: Dry, crisp, and refreshing.

Adam

Woah, this one has some surprises in it! Zingy spice shoots to the forefront, and stays in the finish -- a sort of red-peppery spice, with a little cayenne -- and that's all mixed in with orangey fruit stuff and brine. I've had this both on its own, and paired with shellfish (this is the best shellfish-and-whisky-pairing I've come across, by the way) and I'm a believer. My notes from this tasting say "buy all the Pulteney you can," and while that was an in-the-moment comment, well, it definitely means something.

Andy

Nose is fruit orchard. The taste is dull and generic although not at all offputting. Tastes too much like Pulteney. Meh.
