Old Pulteney 1989
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 46%
Score: 92 Points
This whisky won “World’s Best Single Malt” honors in Whisky Magazine’s 2016 World Whiskies Awards, and comes from one of Scotland’s northern-most distilleries in the coastal town of Wick.
The nose has notes of red apples, oak, hints of smoked salmon and brine, honey, brown sugar, coconut, lemon zest, and dark chocolate. The taste is thick and oily with lemon pepper, a hint of brine, cardamom, honey, coconut, and vanilla. The finish has a lingering tartness and spices, along with coconut, vanilla, and a touch of oak. Excellent! (June, 2016)
