Суммаризация отзывов
Old Pulteney Huddart — это NAS-виски с лёгким дымным/торфяным влиянием (от выдержки в бочках из-под торфяного виски), морскими и солёными нотами, мёдом, ванилью и цитрусами; отзывы в целом сдержанно-положительные, но часть отмечает молодость, короткий финиш и горечь.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстовых отзывов нос описывается как морской и свежий: морской бриз, соль, водоросли, иод, иногда сырные и минеральные оттенки, наряду со сладостью — мёд, ваниль, карамель, спелые фрукты (яблоки, груши, цитрусы), а также лёгкий дым/торф. Во вкусе повторяются солёность и морские ноты, солёная карамель, мёд, ваниль, цитрус, специи (перец, гвоздика, лакрица), сливочная текстура и мягкий торфяной дым; некоторые прямо указывают, что торфяной дым здесь лёгкий и хорошо интегрированный. Финиш чаще описывают как средний или короткий, с солью, специями, дубом, лёгким дымом и сладостью; ряд отзывов отмечает молодость спирта, горечь, вяжущий или спиртовой оттенок.
Общая картина в текстах неоднородна: часть отзывов считает виски приятным, сбалансированным и подходящим на каждый день, с хорошим соотношением цены и качества, тогда как другие называют его молодым, простым, с коротким финишем и неприятной горечью/вяжущестью, а один отзыв прямо советует предпочесть 12-летнюю версию. Несколько отзывов отдельно обсуждают, что это не торфяной солод, а финиш в бочках из-под торфяного виски, и что дым здесь мягкий, а не доминирующий.

| Нос | 84 | The nose is maritime and fresh with notes of sea breeze, ripe pears and apples followed by nuances of mint and sea salt. |

| Финиш | 82 | The finish is medium lenght, quite oaky and has notes of spicy oakiness and fruits along with subtle notes of smoke. |
Very coastal, with a touch of tea and smoke

Heerlijke zacht zoete peat op de achtergrond. Mooie complete whisky
It's certainly not bad. The opposite. But does the subtle peat influence help?

| Нос | — | Hints of warm, sweet apple compote with a sprinkle of lemon zest and furikake. There’s a sliver of fennel seeds too, as well as some liquorice and a gentle ashy note. |
| Вкус | — | Creamy texture with touches of preserved lemons, a discreet peatiness and pinches of white pepper, alongside salmiak liquorice, toffee and smoked honey. |
| Финиш | — | Medium. Lingering notes of salt, pepper and ashes, as well as a soft herbaciousness. |

First smell: oak orange blossom toast roasted chestnuts seaweed smoked is very soft and balanced. The flavor of the vanilla spice and a little honey will appear after 15 minutes without covering the distilled flavor of NAS. The spicy greenness of young whisky is more obvious Soft and thin Medium sweetness The warmth of alcohol The medium peat taste is dominant and gradually changes to the sweetness of bourbon barrel. After that it is interesting pea taste Sea salt a little paint taste color: golden yellow clear aftertaste: short but smoky with sea breeze Very outstanding as nas is still remarkable

I know how beautiful an old Pulteney can be. And this isn't it... skip this one. Buy the 12. The best tip I can give.

This has got no peated barley in it, it's just finished in casks previously used for "proper" peated whisky. Scapa does the same with Glansa. At Scapa they said they receive their casks from a cooperage with no information about their origin. Pulteney however source their casks from spesific distilleries but will not disclose which. The Pulteney approach probably gives more control, and in my opinion pays off as this is a much better result.

| Нос | 82 | Sweet with a clear note of coastal peat. Still retains a lot of the Pulteney fresh ripe fruit. A good and interesting nose, which leads me to think they are quite picky about the casks they choose. |
| Вкус | 84 | This is not bad, if you're not looking for the extreme. Peat is gentle, mellow, coastal. Texture is creamy, and the 46% give it a slight and very pleasant spice level. A little salty, sweet citrus, chared wood notes. |
| Финиш | 80 | Could have been longer, because what is there is good. Light peaty smoke, sweet. |
Smell: Very typical Fordney style, cheese powder, soda crackers with milk and salt, soft sea water and smoke, the salty and umami taste is particularly obvious: the wine is medium-bodied, and the oily feel is average. Creamy vanilla, crackers, wood soaked in sea water, spices, there is a hint of smoke in the middle, and the smell of orange peel and red fruit is very obvious at the back. Ending rhyme: wood, sea salt, strawberry jam Overall: 84.5/100. The mark of the bourbon barrel is quite obvious. Although it is a NAS, the level of blending is quite good. The new wine is not obvious and the richness is still online.

Exciting nose, decent appearance in the mouth (especially for those who like slightly "peaty notes"), rather medium-length finish. Acts a little young.

bit of coastal peat, dark fruits, bit of toffee, some sweet spices, not a dram you would expect much of but does actually deliver

| Нос | 84 | Sweet, honey, vanilla, maritime notes, dried fruits, light smoke, 5-10ppm. Very nice. |
| Вкус | 85 | Sweet, honey, vanilla, maritime even salty, pepper, dried fruits, liquorice, slightly peated. Very tasting. |
| Финиш | 84 | Medium in all notes except for the liquorice, which remains longest. Oak with vanilla, salt, peat and liquorice. |
This quality does not shine with much aromas. Most noticeable are grain, sweetness and spices in the finish. In the background there is some smoke, but very little as well as some flavours from the sea. The distillery character is present, but also very weak.

| Нос | 84 | The nose is not very lush. There is a hint of smoke, some grain, and a bit of honey sweetness. Finds it hard to show more. |
| Вкус | 82 | Starts soft but then gets more fierce, again sweet and very decent smoke. Maybe there is also some sea salt. |
| Финиш | 85 | This is the most spiciest part, significant sweet, mid long. |

Aroma: Cereal character, herbal notes, pronounced honey notes, vanilla, lemon peel, mineral character, notes of salty maritime breeze Taste: In line with the aroma, cereal character, honeyed sweetness, subtle citrus notes, plenty of minerality, a salty maritime note, the finish is pleasantly spicy, clearly mineral-driven, with honeyed citrus notes in the background Overall impression: A decent whisky, successfully introducing the Old Pulteney portfolio, in direct comparison with the 12-year-old version and Harbour, it performed best of the three
The aroma of refined salt is negligible. The overall flavor profile is supported by alcohol, spiciness, a hint of herbs, saltiness, and peat, with an extremely salty finish. Due to the need for review of the low score, the actual score is -10 points from the following score.

Tried at a whisky festival Does any malt that is finished in an ex-peated cask really work? I’ve yet to find one. I’m not saying they are bad, but You either make peated whisky, or you don’t. I’m not convinced. This version does even less to convince me because I did not like it at all. Tastes very young and the spirit and cask did not get along.

Annoc peat barrels?! Well... that's it! It feels like they held it for five years and then dumped it, as if no one had worked on the release. 20 19 20 20

| Нос | 83 | Fresh maritime, slightly grainy and mineral start on the nose. Some sour kiwi and green apple peel. Fine wood spice and minimal impression of smoke. |
| Вкус | 82 | Slightly oily, pleasant start. Very mild with a nice sweet fruitiness and slight honey sweetness. Plus vanilla aromas and again a light smoke. |
| Финиш | 81 | The finish is medium-long and quickly becomes spicy and woody with a few almond notes. Slightly leathery and mineral again. The smoke is barely noticeable. Gets a little dry. |
This is good for the price ($20) but has a strange and unpleasant astringency on the finish after a decent coastal, smoky nose and taste.
Peat is present in nose and finish a bit, the body is dominated by sweetness. Pretty pleasant though.

| Нос | 82 | Some clear peat influence, some rubber, peatsmoke and overripe fruit, especially overripe banana. Along the way, this overripe thing disappears, sweet smoke, peach and apricot remain. |
| Вкус | 83 | Light pepper, sweet, caramel. Sweet smoke, some orange and honey, pretty full body. |
| Финиш | 81 | Only a little pepper remains, some sweet smoke, caramel and honey, not a very long finish. |

First whisky of 1000
This malt was recommended to me by a friend, unfortunately I don't really like it, the bottle shape is old-fashioned and not that pretty in my opinion, the cardboard box is interesting and would be a plus, unfortunately it and the plastic used specifically for it are in times of environmental protection.

| Нос | 80 | Iodine, cloves, plums, apples, pineapple, seems quite young, but old wood can still be heard, someone wrote something about cheese, which I can completely understand, unfortunately this note stands out noticeably, which spoils the nose a little and the It gives the impression that old, musty barrels were used. The peaty is so well integrated that you hardly notice it, would assume less than 5ppm, below that of Oban little bay. |
| Вкус | 82 | First salty, then comes mint, sweet, honey, vanilla, caramel, clove, lemon, green apple, orange, pepper, licorice, a little leathery. |
| Финиш | 80 | Unfortunately there isn't much left at the end, a short finish, the warm tones still remain a bit, but are overshadowed by an unpleasant alcohol note, which also numbs the mouth, but creates a nice mint note. A very nice peat note remains the entire (short) time. |
Overall, I found no evidence of smoky notes. I didn't detect much salt or iodine either, probably because my palate is more inclined towards strong peat and marine aromas. Aside from that, it has a distinctive aroma on the nose. It has a short finish. The taste isn't particularly special or unique, just ordinary; there might be a slight hint of alcohol, but it's not unpleasant. It's an easy-drinking, balanced, and pleasant whisky. Don't set your expectations too high.

| Нос | 83 | On the nose, the first scent is green tea tree, lemon and lemon peel, green apple peel, herbal aromas like those of herbal teas (light anise, fennel, linden, rosehip), and a slightly dominant fermented grape aroma, reminiscent of wine. It's like stepping into a herbalist's shop, with the scents of herbs and spices. |
| Вкус | 82 | On the palate, the viscosity is slightly higher than water, and it dries the palate. Malt sweetness (like cake or biscuit) and a slight honey sweetness are dominant upfront. Flavors of lemon and grapefruit, citrus peels like orange, an intense black pepper that bites the tongue, subtle anise and linden-like sensations. |
| Финиш | 80 | There's a slight alcohol taste at the finish, but it quickly dissipates, giving way to sweet citrus aromas like grapefruit and lemon zest. Then comes the warmth of black pepper and ginger, and as the warmth subsides, subtle herbal aromas like anise, fennel, and tea finally emerge. It has a short to medium finish, more accurately described as short. |
It is not bad whisky, but it does not make much impression.

0399-OLD PULTENEY HUDDART SINGLE MALT SCOTCH Whisky 46%. ... Great in aromas, and the mouth keeps up. If you like typical maritime vibes, lightly tinged with peat and beach mud, yet balanced with a delicate sweetness, this is a must-try. I'm all for it. Huddart can easily be considered a typical "daily dram."
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | — | ...pouring, we already feel the maritime atmosphere. The first associations are my favorites from Douglas Laing's Rock Island series. Sea air, the atmosphere of Ciechocinek or Inowrocław, brine, graduation towers. It's pleasant to inhale. A bit of citrus, a bit of seaweed. In the empty one – here, beach mud, a bit of mustiness, a distant hint of smoke, as if a bonfire had been lit somewhere on the beach. A slice of yellow cheese. Sardines?! We're back to the full – now the aromas seem to have softened, become lighter. Fruity, apple? Sweet and salty, but still "marine." Cheese in brine? Perhaps strange, but pleasant. |
| Вкус | — | ...salty, then sweetish, then a moment later it changes into a slightly peaty and sour aftertaste. It burns, even "pinches." A slight cheesy bitterness appears. There's something mineral on the tongue—I don't know what it is yet. We're definitely dealing with "sea." Something fishy, but it's not fish per se, more like fish sauce. The second time around, it reminds me of a runny, cheesy hollandaise sauce, plus a pinch of spices, herbal pepper, and a constant saltiness like salted caramel or chocolate with coarse grains of salt. Once again, it burns in the cavity—tolerable because it's not overpowering, plus a spoonful of honey (it's hard to say it's honey-like here). A baked apple from... the microwave (my daughter uses it). It tastes strange, and that's what it reminded me of. |
| Финиш | — | ... rather average, definitely sweet and salty, leaning towards salty with a coffee sourness. Maybe with a peaty undertone, but I won't insist on that. |
I like the OP from the ex-Bourbon barrel, Isabella Fortuna, Noss Head, mjam ... but the smoke does not fit in here, totally out of place. Bah, he has something disgusting, I have to be allergic to something. Deny further statements because of personal bias.
This OP is fine with peat, but not a big boom.

| Нос | — | Floral. Sweet peat, yellow fruits, citruses, honey, mint and spicy oak. |
| Вкус | — | Creamy. Discrete peat. Honey, salted minerals, citruses, sweet fruits and vanilla. |

Marine, fresh, with the aroma of the sea breeze, ripe pear and apples, mint and honey, salty taste with a slight bitterness, with tones of the sea, salted caramel and ripe fruit, medium-length finish, oak-fruity with tones of smoke. Very interesting NAS from Pulteney. The aroma is generally quite serious, the taste and finish hints at young alcohols. In general, for the money I was pleasantly surprised.

Not impressed. First nose is decent: coastal, seaweed, hint of smoke, little sweetness. But after 20 mins it's all gone. Taste is obviously young spirits, finish isn't good either.

| Нос | 82 | Something like smoke, but in a different version, lighter. Maybe lightly smoked malt. Lots of vanilla. Caramel. Considerable minerality. A pinch of spices. Salt. Smells a little alcohol. Traces of honey and wax. After a long time, a light flowering appeared. There was even a little coconut on the next nose. |
| Вкус | 81 | A gentle variety of smoked malt. Lots of salt. A trace of smoke. Salty caramel. Light oily. Spices. White pepper. |
| Финиш | 81 | Caramel. Then a lot of salt. Salty caramel. Lightly smoked malt. A pinch of spices. White pepper. The salt remains the longest. Medium-long finish. Like a faint trace of fruit at the end. |
