old pulteney

[rutterb]

i'm not a scotch person, but have friends that are and have had some nice ones. I came across some 21 yr old pulteney today. For $100, is this worth buying? I've been on the fence of buying 18 yr Yamazaki, but may go another route.

IMHO, yes, it's definitely worth it

Yes and yes. They are both great and should easily satisfy your Scotch-loving friends, though it's certainly unnecessary to spend that kind of money to pick up a high quality bottle of single malt whisky. But for a treat and something not many people get around to trying, I'd go with the OP21.

I'm not a scotch guy at all but I do like the OP12 was the first scotch I ever had that I could drink. Stu got me to drink this.

OP 21 is very good. OP 12 is also very good. While $100.00 isn't a great sum of money, it isn't chicken feed, either. I almost always opt for Malts under $100.00, as I don't feel the quality is much better in the older, more costly malts.... especially Islay malts.

Here is a nice package of two 375 ml bottles ....12 & 17 year old...for a reasonable $59.99.

A nice way to try both for the price of one.
