Old Pulteney 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Final Thoughts: Old Pulteney Huddart is a wonderfully smooth Scotch whisky. The flavors are light and goes down smoother than almost any other whisky I have had. This would be a perfect whisky to offer someone who has never had whiskey, or someone who has been on the fence about whiskey. The touch of briny flavor from the sea air adds a perfect touch that you won’t find in hardly any other whiskies. Also, coinciding with these new single malts, Old Pulteney has partnered with Sustainable Surf for The Maritime Malt’s new Rise With The Tide Campaign. “With this new film series, the program puts a spotlight on the inspirational stories of those who, like Old Pulteney, work in partnership with the sea. Sustainable Surf is dedicated to protecting and restoring ocean health by shifting people to a highly desirable, low-carbon, ‘Deep Blue’ lifestyle.” a b Pulteney Distillery, Visit Scotland, archived from the original on 26 July 2014 , retrieved 19 June 2014 The fundamental nature of maturing whisky – deliberately but unhurriedly over the years – reinforces a near monolithic link to the past. This can be positively appreciated by exploring processes and practices from decades past, or from experiencing bottlings now defunct that capture a particular moment. Time doesn’t stand still, and nor does whisky. But, all too often I’m seeing the past manifest itself in a binary belief that things were always better before – a view that in some instances may well be true, but one which will only lead to perpetual disappointment – and higher secondary market prices for the things which once were. Banana malted milkshake, honey graham, vanilla frosting, nuts and a light bit of baking spice and lemon peel.

Buttery fruit like banana and apricot move out with a light honey, toffee and orange zest. A sweet malty character rides along with a bit of spice and a touch of a metallic alkalinity.

They didn’t have the life, the character or the richness of OP’s age-stated whiskies. The OP Navigator was piss-poor compared to the standard Old Pulteney 12 years and the OP Clipper was a weak shade next to the always amazing Old Pulteney 17. old pulteney scotch whisky facts - The logbook — Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky". oldpulteney.com.

It has a warm waxy character that keeps drawing me in and I find myself reaching for the Old Pulteney 15 and wanting the experience of drinking it.

Woah. The aroma does NOT give you much insight into the palate of this Old Pulteney 15. It’s so much richer and fuller.

No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Palate: Very nice flavor of smoky chocolate, with a immediate bite of spice, with a hint of fruit flavor, almost like dried dates. A very unique flavor, with the added brininess that seems to be a trademark of this distillery. The nose tells you that this isn’t what one should look out for in a Highland malt with a nautical theme. Instead of a saline aspect and perhaps a whiff of smoke, it’s a fruity malt. The scent is rich with green apples, raisins and citrus zest, sitting in a pool of honey and vanilla extract. Accenting this is a dash of baking spice, a sliver of dry wood, and a tinge of earthiness. Unfortunately, the OP 17 has been discontinued (and the OP 21 followed soon after), but in its place, this Old Pulteney 15 Years arrived. I’m 99% sure this will beat out either of the NAS attempts listed above, so I’ll be comparing it to the whisky it replaced.

Final Thoughts: The Old Pulteney 15 year old whisky definitely hits you right away with the spiciness. As the distillery states, this is a good balance of the spicy and the sweet. The spices hit you hard, but then the sweetness lingers on your tongue. This is a very unique flavor whiskey. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Final Thoughts: While definitely not as smooth as the Huddart, Old Pulteney’s 12 year old single malt Scotch whiskey is wonderful and can definitely stand on its own, apart from the Huddart. The sea air brininess is even more apparent in this offering.

The finish flips the sweet and woody-earthy-spicy aspects of the whisky end over end, becoming far less sweet on the way down than the whisky was while sitting on your palate. It’s a nice capstone for the overall experience and really adds to it. Banana malted milkshake, honey graham, waxy vanilla frosting, dried orchard fruit, roasted nuts, baking spice, toffee and touches of leather and hay.

Nose: A very sweet smelling whiskey. Definitely some fruity hints to it, with only a slight hint of smokiness. The following indicators should be taken as only a guide and not a set of hard and fast rules. Some "premium" whiskeys really are quite terrible, while some mass market products are good enough to pour into a decanter and serve to the Duke of Edinburgh. A+: A masterpiece and one of the ten best whiskeys of its type. Above five stars.

Old Pulteney 15 year old is really rather tasty, marrying fresh and crisp aromas and flavours with just enough sherry and just enough coast. It is a contemporary composition designed for a modern generation of whisky drinkers – solid but predictable, wood-forward, but yes, despite the heavy-handed marketing blurb, it is indeed balanced. I don’t like it as much as the 17 year old – it’s simply less characterful and more generic – but, I would still posit that that this new expression is a very different beast and will quite possibly, over time, have wider appeal.
