Old Pulteney Whalligoe Whisky Miniature 18 Year Old · 1976 Vintage

Colour

Burnished amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Brine-kissed sea air rises with polished oak and waxy citrus. Rich sherry fruit—dark fig, raisin, date—unfolds into toffee, vanilla, and a whisper of spice. A maritime spine threads through, echoing Old Pulteney’s coastal heritage, while 18 years condense the aroma into elegant, powerful depth.

Palate

Silky and maritime, this 18-year-old unfurls briny sea air with rich sherry-tinged fruit. Dark fig, prune and orange zest mingle with cocoa and spice; clove and cinnamon thread through a velvety, viscous palate. The finish is long and salted, with baking spice and warm oak lingering under bold, alcohol-kissed warmth.

Finish

Whalligoe's finish extends long and silky, bathed in sherried sweetness with dried fig and raisin notes. Dark chocolate, toasted almond and cinnamon spice entwine, while a delicate sea-salt lift deepens the maritime core. Rich oak and caramel linger, fading slowly into a warm, coastal echo that speaks to Old Pulteney's character.
