Special features: The Old Pulteney 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky comes from the Pulteney Distillery in Wick, Scotland. It matures entirely in hand-selected ex-bourbon barrels made of American oak. These barrels are exposed to the salty sea climate of Wick, which gives the whisky its characteristic maritime flavor. The whisky is not smoky and is offered in an elegant gift packaging.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Bright citrus notes and vanilla emerge first, followed by the distinctive salty sea air of Wick.
Palate: On the palate, honey and cream steadily deepen into ripe fruits and fresh spices.
Finish: The finish is long, lively, and salty.
Distillery/Bottler: The Pulteney Distillery was founded in 1826 and is known for its maritime whiskies. It uses water from Loch Hempriggs, which is channeled through a historic canal. The Old Pulteney 12 Year Old is marketed as an original bottling and highlights the regional characteristics through its traditional production method.
