Default Old Pulteney 21 Year old

So...it's just been awarded ?"WORLD WHISKY OF THE YEAR 2012." by the prestigious "Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.” Scoring a record-equalling 97.5 points out of 100, it is only the third time that a single malt has ever won the prestigious award, and the distillery is just the second Scottish distillery to do so.

As no ones's made a post on this I thought I'd just say that one persons opinion doesn't make it the best whisky nor one that everyone will like. Jim Murray, like most authors who write whisky books, do it to make money not to pass on their "expertise"

Further to ANNAOWEN's comment and to BLENDERM's reply, I agree with BLENDERM. This is ONLY one person's opinion. One must always remember that taste is subjective. I have had the OLD PULTENEY 21-Year-Old on many occasions and find it to be a good whisky. I wouldn't throw it out of bed for eating crackers, but for me I can name many that would fit into a prestigious award category; but then again it would just be my opionion. Note to ANNAOWEN: Respectfully, use the information as a guideline, not the gospel. ( Pun Intended )
