The Old Pulteney 15yo, also known as "The Maritime Malt," is a coastal single malt whisky from the Old Pulteney distillery. Established in 1826 in Wick, it is the northernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland. This 15-year-old single malt is a balanced and smooth expression from the distillery's range, featuring a naturally rich amber color.
Matured for 15 years in ex-bourbon barrels and Spanish oak butts, this whisky boasts a complex flavor profile that combines dried fruits, toffee, apple, and the distillery's signature briny character. The nose is rich with dried fruit, honey, creamy vanilla, chocolate, and floral hints, while the palate offers fragrant spices, Christmas cake, toffee, and chocolate, all complemented by a touch of sea salt in the finish.
Released in 2018 as part of Old Pulteney's core range, which also includes Huddart, 12 Years Old, and 18 Years Old, this whisky features bright modern packaging and is housed in a bottle shaped in the distillery's traditional style. Bursting with aromas of rich dried fruit, ripe apples, citrus, honey sweetness, and a generous dollop of vanilla, this whisky is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast. Bottled at 46% ABV, this luscious Highland whisky is one of the best in its age category, offering a brilliant balance of spice, sweetness, and refreshing coastal notes.
