Finished in ex-peated casks after an initial maturation in ex-bourbon, this brand new expression from Old Pulteney wafts fragrant mellow wood smoke from the glass with honey and oily leather, developing into crisp green apple, creamy vanilla and a hint of burnt toffee. On the palate, freshly-ground spices and vanilla balance the subtle notes of smoke and peat fire. Finishing on a rich salted caramel note, this is a exciting new release.

Hailing from one of Scotland's most notherly distilleries, Old Pulteney resides in the old fishing village of Wick. Pulteney's whiskies are known for their gentle honeyed, vanilla sweetness, and a touch of marzipan nuttyness. The distinctive slightly salty tang tells of the distilleries home by the sea. A great introductory dram for those new to whisky.

After 15 years of maturation, Old Pulteney 15 years old has become rich and soft, offering complex notes of dried fruit, ripe apple and a swirl of honey and vanilla sweetness, cut by a drying sea-side saltyness. The hallmark marzipan and floral notes are more distant, with dark toffee and chocolate emerging in the finish. A very balanced new expression and a classic Pulteney through and through.

The first new production whisky to be released from the re-opened Glenglassaugh distillery, closed from 1986 until 2008. The revival has been welcomed with rave reviews worldwide for a distillery that has only been back in production for such a short period of time. Characterised by sweet caramel and toffee, a strong sour plum flavour and a hint of sherry. A fascinating insight into a distillery redefining itself, while still holding true to its original character.
