Comments:

Strong, but very drinkable. No need to add water either. This is not the official Old Pulteney, with its sea salt and maritime character. This is heavy and sweet, with just a little sea salt in the nose to remind me of where it comes from. Fragrant, spicy, and peaty. Very nice indeed.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
