    Nice review! Looking forward to trying this one sometime soon. The old 17 is an all time fave. This and the 18 have piqued my interest. I'll definitely be checking them out.

    When I visited Old Pulteney Distillery we tasted the 12, 15, 18 and Huddart. The OP 15 was my favorite in the line up.

      It’s a really nice bottle. We have the 18 review coming soon. We also have a sample of 25.... I’m sure it’s worth trying.

    I absolutely loved this scotch. Complexity wise, it actually really surprised me. Just so unique, kinda like how GM Signet - unique. The richness maltiness with the briny finish. Totally incredible. My favourite I’ve tasted this year!

    The last of the Old Pulteney 17 stock went into closeout recently in VA ABC and I managed to pick up 3 bottles at 50% off. This will probably the last time I will ever see the 17 on the shelves.

    Great review guys. Looking forward to trying this one. In stock at a nearby store here in Sweden... about €80-85, while the 12 has remained at €35. Fair price jump from the 12 to 15, but I want it :)

    • @Scotch4Dummies

      @@trhoads07 I am fortunate enough to know both distilleries' malts via their outgoing product line but neither of the new lines has appeared here as of yet. My disappointment is (clearly) not with the whiskies but rather with the lineup/pricing/packaging. With OP we're paying more for younger whisky across the board. With Balblair we've lost the USP, and while we can't compare apples to apples on price:age, you know as well as I do that we're now asked to pay more than 3x as much for what used to be the 1990/91 vintage release.

  • @wtharris2343
    @wtharris2343 ปีที่แล้ว

    one man's opinion... it doesnt begin to compare with the old 17. The 17 transported you right to the scottish coast on an early winter day with heavy reminders of kelp, seeweek, mollusks, violent waves, ocean spray and briny pools of seawater waiting for the next high tide. The 15 is heavy on toffee sweetness with a strong finish of what I can only describe as sea oats. Perhaps there is a bit of the ocean but it has to be searched for. For what it is... well OK, but as a replacement for the old 17 forget it.
