Old Pulteney Sherry Wood Single Cask Whisky 15 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany and copper undertones, a warm tawny glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry sweetness floods the nose with dark fig and raisin, quince and orange zest, all wrapped in toasted oak. A whisper of salted caramel and almond adds depth, while a maritime breeze—briny, sea-salt tang—lifts the aroma, finishing with spice: cinnamon, clove, and a hint of cocoa.

Palate

Full-bodied and intensely sherried, this Old Pulteney coats the palate with raisin, fig and dark chocolate, brightened by orange zest and salted caramel. Rich oak and spice weave through the mid-palate, while coastal salinity remains evident. A warming, long finish of cocoa nibs, nutty toffee and a fine maritime note lingers.

Finish

Exquisite, long finish built on sherry-soaked fruit: raisin, fig and blackberry sweetness mingle with cocoa and toasted almond, while a subtle maritime brine threads through. The warmth widens into polished oak spice and caramel, slowly fading to a refined, creamy chocolate echo.
