Sea air, toasted almond and refined peat smoke mark the nostril of this single malt. The palate opens assertively smoky and savory, mixing bacon and mesquite with almond, honey and spice. This was aged in ex-bourbon casks and completed in casks that beforehand held peated whisky. (KN).
Outdated Pulteney, the sensible distillery located on Scotland’s Northern coast, solely makes unpeated malt. For this uncommon bottling, they’ve completed their malt in casks that beforehand held closely peated anCnoc single malt from their sister distillery Knockdhu. You get all of the salty brine of Pulteney mixed with the extreme peat of anCnoc for a particular tackle the peaty, salty type of whisky extra acquainted to followers of Islay.

That is a type of offers the place our worth is so ridiculously low it offers folks pause. Chances are you’ll bear in mind the Outdated Pulteney Clipper or the Balblair 2005 that we secured earlier this yr. Every a type of flew off our cabinets as soon as the phrase acquired out and I acquired lots of of emails asking me if we had been going to get extra. It’s astonishing that we had been in a position to work this deal, principally as a result of this that is nonetheless accessible everywhere on the a lot increased worth. That was not the case both of the opposite two. However right here we’re. A wonderful highland malt ace’d in a closely peated highland cask, offers us simply the tiny kiss of smoke that I typically crave when tasting fashionable Outdated Pulteney. I’m unhappy to say that that is each bit well worth the $60 they wish to cost for it, and I’d have been completely satisfied to proceed to promote it at that worth, however proper we’re in a valuation creation mode and we can not resist the chance to share the worth that this sort of deal creates for our prospects. Let’s have a style. The colour is beautiful restrained deep gold (0.8), probably no coloring added right here though it’s not acknowledged on the bottle. The nostril gives no sturdy smoke or peat aromas, as an alternative the cask end serves to intensify the classical salty maritime character of the Pulteney malt in a particularly interesting means. With a little bit of air, the candy sea air envelopes a basket of contemporary orchard fruit pear, yellow plum, lemon rind and apricot skins. Past {that a} deep base observe of malt gives some savory earthy, wealthy nutty and candy biscuit notes. The palate is extraordinarily pleasurable in a really overt type of means -the savory notes described within the important evaluate perhaps have tamed barely in bottle over the past a number of years, however a pure and linear twinge of peat slices proper through the attractive salty fruit on the entrance palate. Very refined wooden smoke, roasted heather, oily nuts, and lingering salt sits on the again palate and construct towards a wonderful spice pushed end. It’s not large bruiser or powerhouse, as an alternative providing a complexity typically misplaced in NAS malts and whereas it would delay those that completely HATE peat (albeit the Highland type somewhat than the brackish iodine of Islay), I extremely doubt that anybody else will discover this overly smoky or peaty in anyway. That is first-rate malt, which actually shouldn’t be accessible for the worth we’re charging. You’ve been warned that this isn’t to be missed, so don’t come crying to me when it’s all gone!
