Product Description
Old Pulteney 18 Year Old Bottling Note. Released as part of a fleet of new expressions by Old Pulteney in mid 2018, this 18 year old single malt is drawn from a combination of bourbon and Spanish oak casks. Excellent stuff as ever from this Highland distillery.
Product details
History
Old Pulteney Distillery is located in the far north of the Scottish mainland. Wick is an area rich in maritime history, once known for its herring fisheries, and the distillery's opening coincided with this boom in the fishing trade. The fishing industry all but died out there, but the distillery has long endured. Fun fact: the shape of the bottle with the bulbous neck is a reflection of the unique stills, which are missing the traditional "swan neck" because they were too tall for the original still house. This single malt is matured entirely in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, mostly second-fill.
Tasting Note
Nose: Cinnamon-spiced cookie dough, mature oak, a very light touch of charcoal.
Palate: Dark chocolate and green apple make for a great juxtaposition of bitterness and sweetness, while waves of vanilla and rye bread sit in the background.
Finish: Citrus, sea salt and wet grass.
