I noticed that they have sold out of the Old Pulteney 21 over at The Whisky Exchange already but i would guess they will be getting a load in as soon as they can.

Well deserved, I am sure this will boost interest in Old Pulteney, not just the 21 year but also the 17 and 12.

I noticed that the 2012 Whisky Bible is sold out already over at Amazon. Never mind at least i know what the big winners are now.

Good to see the Highland Park 25 year old get a mention as it is excellent and normally it is the HP 18 and HP 30 that gets allt the praise.

Good to see one of the smaller whisky companies picking up the top award and well deserved the Old Pulteney 21 is a great dram and so is the 17 year old for that matter.

I often have the Old Pulteney 12 & 17 which is very good but havent had the 21 for sometime, i think i need to take another look at it.

How small really is Old Pulteney? The 12 year-old is pretty standard in most supermarkets, and at very good prices too. So it's not like they lack exposure.like the various reports make it out.

William, I am sure the difference between batch releases of the Old Pulteney 21 will be negligible but i noticed you have posted a picture of a green tube for the Old Pulteney 21

I take it that the green tube is new packaging as i am only familiar with the gold tube for the OP 21, my point is was it the whisky in the new green tube packaging that Mr Murray named as World Whisky of the Year 2012

Your right Crane the green tube is the new updated packaging for the Old Pulteney 21.

I see that the Old Pulteney 21 is sold out already in The Whisky Exchange, Master of Malt and Whisky Online, it shows the influence Jim Murrays Whisky Bible has.

hopefully this doesnt bump the price of old pulteney up as that is part of what makes it such a good dram IMO

Its good to see one that i can afford to drink picking up the top award. Laughing

I hope it doesnt bump up the price but i wouldnt be surprised considering it is out of stock everywhere since this was announced.
