Old Pulteney Duncansby Head Lighthouse Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1 Litre)
Out of stock
The Duncansby Head is the second release of Old Pulteney's travel retail exclusive Lighthouse series, this time matured in Bourbon and Sherry Casks.
Along with the Noss head and Pentland Skerries this trilogy of releases named after the lighthouses near the distillery in Wick are well worth seeking out.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with coppery highlights.
Nose
Indulgent nose of cake sponge and salted shortbread, with a malty vanilla anchor. Notes of mixed candied peel, orange and mango curd mingle with lemongrass, ginger barley, and pear drops for a coastal, bright, citrus-kissed sweetness.
Palate
More sponge cake on the palate, with salted lime curd and herbal notes. Grassy barley and boiled sweets appear, perhaps wine gums. Vanilla icing sugar, green fig and a note of meringue round out a light, confectionary finish.
Finish
Key lime pie made with salted lime curd and Greek yoghurt, coastal herb garden, vanilla biscuits, custard powder and meringue with kiwi fruit.
