Pulteney 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Old Pulteney · Pulteney Distillery
The 15 Year Old hits a sweet spot in the Pulteney range — old enough to show real depth, young enough to retain the distillery's trademark maritime freshness. It's a malt that tastes like its origin in the best possible way.
Nose
Briny sea air meets honeyed malt, with ripe peach and a swirl of vanilla. Behind it sits a gentle waxiness and a touch of dried apricot that signals the age well.
Palate
Medium-bodied with a creamy, buttery texture. Salted caramel arrives first, followed by baked orchard fruit, subtle clove spice, and a distinctly coastal minerality that separates it from inland malts.
Finish
Drying and pleasantly long, with almond, a whisper of green grass, and lingering honey sweetness.
