Words of Whisky (82)

:
Is it the Pulteney I know and love? No. Is it a good whisky? Absolutely.
Nose
Not the most expressive at first, but it opens up on mineral notes (think ozone and wet pebbles), walnuts, and some chalk, but with apricot marmalade, sultanas and orange zest to back things up. Finally hints of rose petals and a pinch of cinnamon. It also becomes sweeter over time with honey leading the way.
Taste
Mouthfeel works well with a nice viscosity. Hints of honey, cracked black peppercorns and a pinch of salt followed by dark caramel, burnt toast and caramelised almonds. Near the end some breakfast tea with rock candy.
Finish
The sweetness slowly expands. Fudge, dark caramel and honey intertwine. Lingering notes of salted peanuts.
