Old Pulteney 35
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 42.5%
Score: 92 Points
This Highland malt is matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks, and the nose has a touch of wood smoke along with a hint of ash, a touch of sea breeze, dried orange peel, toasted oak, and pencil shavings. The taste has notes of candied orange peel, grapefruit, and mango balanced by cinnamon, clove, and touches of butterscotch. The finish is dry, citrusy-tart, and oaky with a touch of smoke and a subtle hint of cocoa beans. A few drops of water brings out the smokiness and a slight ashiness on the palate. An excellent fireplace dram to stay warm with! (October, 2014)
