Old Pulteney 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1L

"The maritime single malt spent its decade of ageing in second fill American oak bourbon barrels, and was then bottled at 40% ABV. As always, there's just a hint of seaside salinity amid the creamier notes from the cask. Palate: Green apple sharpness is tempered by a touch more honey, lemon meringue pie, a touch of tobacco and overripe pear, with a sea breeze beneath it all. Salted caramel lingers alongside drying oak."

They rise with the tide, these whisky-makers. Old Pulteney, "The Maritime Malt of Scotland," has been distilling whisky from the most northerly shores of Scotland, Wick, since 1826. Their single malt whisky is known for subtle coastal chords to more defined salty notes. Their unusually shaped pot sills have large boiling balls, making for a fragrant whisky character, especially once it's been matured in American bourbon and Spanish oak sherry casks.
