Old Pulteney 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky β 70cl
From Scotland's most northerly coastal distillery β and the only distillery in the world to have its product banned by its own town. Old Pulteney was founded in 1826 in the fishing port of Wick, Caithness, a community so reliant on the herring industry that alcohol was banned by the town council β leading to the almost unthinkable situation of a distillery producing whisky in a dry town. Today the ban is long lifted and Old Pulteney stands as one of the most characterful and distinctive maritime single malts in Scotland β the salty North Sea air permeating its warehouses giving every expression a characteristic briny freshness and coastal depth quite unlike any inland Highland distillery. Non-chill filtered, natural colour. Available to buy online in Singapore from The Liquid Collection. The 15 Year Old offers considerably greater richness and complexity than the 12 β fifteen years in quality ex-bourbon casks deepening the maritime character and adding satisfying toffee warmth and spice.
TASTING NOTES
COLOUR
Rich amber.
NOSE
Intense yet balanced. Bursting with rich dried fruit, ripe apples and citrus, with honey sweetness and a generous chord of creamy vanilla. Slightly chocolaty and floral in the background.
PALATE
Fragrant spices and Christmas cake, with layers of chocolate and a distinct dark toffee sweetness. There is a hint of salty sea air on the finish, a clear connection to the influence of the sea on this single malt.
ABV: 46% ABV
