Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Old Bottling) 25 Year Old
Out of stock
For a quarter of a century, casks of this rare expression of Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky breathed the invigorating sea air of the Caithness coast. Sheltered from a fast-changing world by the darkened calm of a distillery warehouse, the spirit mellowed at its own steady pace, echoing the reassuring rhythm of its hometown port. Aged firstly in American oak for 22 years its spicy sweetness was later granted depth and colour by casks of Spanish oak for 3 years.
Elegant and charismatic, this wonderful whisky embodies both Wick’s spirit of endurance and Pulteney Distillery’s devotion to its craft.
An ever reliably brilliant release from this maritime malt distillery based in the old fishing village of Wick in the north Highlands.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm mahogany edge.
Nose
Mature and fragrant, the nose unfolds with heavy spices and dark chocolate, salted caramel and marmalade on toast. A subtle coastal smoke lingers, with hints of leather, fruitcake and rum fudge.
Palate
Bitter chocolate and creamy vanilla melt into hints of toffee and tangerine, with smoked peach and malty brown bread lending depth. Honey-glazed apple and a boozy fruit cake note thread through, finished by a waxy, mouth-coating body and a lingering touch of spice.
Finish
Long, spicy finish with a waxy, oily mouthfeel. Notes of banana bread, smoked chocolate, salted caramel, coconut and toffee apple mingle with aromatic spices, finishing in dark honeycomb.
