Old Pulteney MacPhail's Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 11 Year Old · 2005 Vintage

Colour

Sunlit golden amber with warm honey tones and a soft copper glow.

Nose

Coastal brine and sea spray mingle with bright lemon zest and green apple. Honeyed malt and vanilla oak weave through, while a whisper of sherry lends dark fig and almond. Maritime and refined, the nose is fresh, sun-warmed, with citrus, fruit, and a hint of spice.

Palate

A coastal, briny sweetness leads into a rich, sherried core: salted caramel and orange zest mingle with dark dried fruits, espresso-like chocolate and warm spice. The texture is supple, with smooth oak and a lingering maritime finish that echoes Old Pulteney’s seafaring character.

Finish

Bright sea-salt echoes into a lasting maritime finish, where honeyed fruit and vanilla drift over toasted oak, with a subtle sherry-tinged sweetness that lingers, leaving an almond note and a final whisper of spice.
