Old Poutney

Today Gary took me to investigate a bit of this liquid they call scotch whiskey. We went to the Old Pulteney Distillery. Unfortunately we couldn't go on a tour due to renovations but we did have a wee taste. I was lucky enough to try the 12 year and the 21 year (this was produced from below the tasting table so I am guessing it is not always offered, must have been the beard I think). I was surprised that it was actually quite smooth. The 21 year was much warmer though. I can't say I am now going to be seeking straight whiskey as a beverage of choice though.
