Old Pulteney Scotch Single Malt Navigator

Wine Enthusiast 95 points - Though it’s not intensely aromatic, showing only shy hints of caramel, fruit and smoke, this Scotch is concentrated on the palate and evolves with every sip. Add just a splash of water, and it sings with honeysuckle sweetness up front, turning smoky, then fruity, with Sherry-like accents that fade into a smooth vanilla-caramel exit. Matured in former Bourbon and Sherry casks..Kara Newman, December/2015

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 92 points - Oatcakes and freshly malted barley are light on the nose. In the mouth it open us with bright grain and salted hay flavors, moving toward rich spice and then into deep toasted nuts and coffee bean, all with a mineral core..March/2017
