BOW (87)

The Old Pulteney distillery was founded in 1826, after which it was completely renovated in 1958. This 12 year old Pulteney was distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2020.

Color: Gold

Nose: Rich and concentrated. Somewhat salty in the beginning, which clearly accentuates Pulteney's "coastal character". Then candied fruit (apple, pear) and citrus fruit (lemon, orange). At the end also notes of walnut, almonds, curry and salted caramel, which brings out the influence of the sherry cask.

Taste: Aromatic plants and barley first. Then salty, dried apple and candied pear with the zest of lemon zest at the end.

Finish: Long, with lots of spices (star anise, pepper, ginger, nutmeg). Then subtle notes of coconut and vanilla.
