Gold Medal&95 points,"This Single Malt charms with a light, floral nose and faint pear drop aromas. Stem ginger and red toffee apple come through on the palate, with the creamy sweetness of vanilla and butter pecan syrup."- International Wine&Spirit Competition 2021 The 15 Year Old is where a little Sherry influence washes into the Old Pulteney range. Double matured in ex-Bourbon and Spanish oak casks, this is a sensational dram. It marries spice and sweetness of the wood (creamy vanilla, pecan pie, Christmas cake, honey, gingerbread and Bounty bar) with the whisky's natural fruitiness (dried fruit, citrus, orchard blossom and juicy apple) and sea-swept character (brine, salted caramel and oyster shell). Perfect for any season, but best served by the ocean. Once famed for its barrels of herring, Wick is now renowned for its casks of award-winning single malt. And there's no whisky on the planet quite like the"Manzanilla of the North". The most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland, Old Pulteney is lashed by the salty sea and that maritime influence penetrates deep into the whisky produced there. Their single malt is so good and so distinctive that King Charles has his very own cask - just don't tell Laphroaig or Ballindalloch.£12.14 per 100.00ml
