Tasting Notes

The flavour profile of this whisky is a direct result of the long maturation in a single bourbon cask and the distillery’s signature maritime character.

Colour: Typically a bright, pale gold, as expected from an ex-bourbon cask.

Nose: Expect a powerful and vibrant nose with a lot of vanilla, honey, and creamy toffee. The classic Old Pulteney “coastal” character is present, with hints of sea spray and salt. There are also notes of fresh orchard fruits, such as crisp apples and pears, and a touch of lemon zest.

Palate: The palate is full-bodied and oily, with a strong but not overpowering alcoholic warmth. Flavors of vanilla custard, baking spices (like cinnamon and nutmeg), and a sweet, malty core dominate. The maritime influence comes through as a subtle brininess that balances the sweetness.

Finish: The finish is long, warm, and spicy, with the sweetness and coastal notes lingering for a satisfying conclusion.
