2012 World Whisky of The Year (Jim Murray Whisky Bible)

Discontinued in 2017

Known as the Maritime Malt, the distillery location is key. The taste is a result of a unique wash still and the bottle reflects the maritime association and unique still shape.

This expression marries together Old Pulteney matured in ex-bourbon casks with spirit from ex-Oloroso sherry casks. Mostly second-fill American oak is used, plus some Spanish oak first fill. However, there is a higher proportion of ex-Oloroso sherry cask compared to the 17 Years Old.

Old Pulteney 21 Year Old was 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.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Golden amber with straw highlights.

Nose: Full bodied with traces of fruits (apples and pears); slightly fragrant with spicy overtones.

Palate and Finish: Creamy, toffee, vanilla, baked red apple with a hint of smokiness and a dry finish.

"No shrinking violet this dram - but deep, brooding, and dramatic. A rich, smoky mist swirls around flavors of dark chocolate, creamy vanilla, caramel, burnt orange peel and black bread with hints of sea salt. The subtle smoke binds the richness, sweetness and fruitiness together nicely, ending a long, elegant finish. Definitely one to share with friends on a cold, stormy night!" - Amanda Schuster

"The 21-year old Old Pulteney absolutely exploded from the glass with vitality, charisma and class."  - Jim Murray, Whisky Bible 2012
