Description
Old Pulteney Aged 18 Years Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: 18 Years Country: Scotland
Founded in 1826 by James Henderson at the height of Wick’s celebrated herring boom, the Pulteney Distillery is one of the most northerly on the British mainland. At a time when road links to the town were yet to be established, the distillery was dependent on the sea for its supply of barley and for the shipping out of its malt whisky. Wick became known for the barrels of silver (herring) and gold (whisky) which left the port in vast numbers.
The distillery itself has an absorbing history, with its unique stills defying convention to this day. The wash still, in particular, is a source of fascination to visitors due to the absence of a ‘swan neck’. Legend has it that when the still was delivered it was too tall for the still house and the manager simply decided to cut the top off! The Old Pulteney bottle now incorporates a bulbous neck to reflect the shape of the stills.
With its 21 years old single malt was given a magical gift being named by Jim Murray as the ‘Whisky of the Century’ this is a range of whisky you must discover and try to prise yourself away from.
You can expect absolute brilliance, but that’s only my opinion. Salty, fruity and smooth. Vanilla notes and did I say fruity?
After discontinuing the 21 years old and the 17 years old expressions the Pulteney Distillery really needed to fill the silent space between aged statements and vintage releases. Along comes the Old Pulteney Aged 18 Years. Matured in second fill American oak ex-bourbon barrels then it is filled into Spanish oak casks which previously held Oloroso Sherry. The marriage of these casks and the age matured in simply a creation of perfection. Bottled at 46% abv and non chill-filtered.
Our Tasting Notes
