Old Pulteney 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Old Pulteney , United Kingdom
The Old Pulteney distillery in Wick is the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. It is a windswept location, where the uncompromising landscape of the Highlands meets the North Sea, and the waves crash against the granite walls of the harbour.
Old Pulteney tastes of the sea in the Hebrides, a strong wave of malt taste with a light peaty side.
Old Pulteney, 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been voted 2012 World Whisky of the Year by the prestigious "Jim Murray's Whisky Bible."
Scoring a record-equalling 97.5 points out of 100, it is only the third time that a single malt has ever won the prestigious award, and Old Pulteney are just the second Scottish distillery to do so.
Golden Amber in colour with straw highlights, this full bodied whisky has traces of fruit flavours with slighly fragrant spicy overtones. It is sweet to start with hints of honey and lemon which is followed by a dry finish.
“The 21-year old Old Pulteney absolutely exploded from the glass with vitality, charisma and class.” - Jim Murray, Whisky Bible 2012
