Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold sheen and a warm mahogany edge, a honeyed, sunlit bronze that hints at sherry influence.

Nose

Coastal sea-salt and brine mingle with rich sherry-tinged fruit—dried apricot, fig and orange zest. Almond and polished oak entwine with a ribbon of vanilla and a hint of dark chocolate, all carried by maritime elegance that speaks of age and Highlands character.

Palate

Silky and generous, this 21-year-old reveals a sherried core backed by coastal salinity. Dried fig and raisin meet honeyed malt, with cocoa, almond and spice lending depth. A gentle maritime breeze carries the sweetness into a long, refined finish of oak, salted caramel and subtle dark chocolate.

Finish

Sherry-kissed, maritime finish with a coastal breeze. Salty sea air tightens to dried orange and fig, weaving through toffee, cocoa and oak spice. The mouthfeel stays velvet and warm, as caramel sweetness lingers long, tapering to a refined, breathy whisper of sea and spice.
