Old Pulteney 15 Year

Dessert-y, fruity but a tad rough - still enjoable Dram at The Haven - Boston

En rik og chewy whisky med veldig fyldig munn og lett sødme. Toffee, bakt eple og tørket frukt over lett bitter sjokolade. God lengde, men mangler kanskje litt letthet og struktur.

Sea is more noticable on the nose. Much more brine on the palate than the 15. Nice dried fruit finish.

very soft and very smooth and a little caramel and sherry

I had a chance to try the new Old Pulteney range again last night, in a slightly more controlled setting than the whisky show where I tried some of them last year, and I can say that the 15 is the standout. The secondary maturation in ex-Oloroso sherry casks lends it some lovely dry nutty flavors that are well balanced with the classic Pulteney briny notes. While it doesn’t rise to the heights of the discontinued 21, it’s a more than respectable addition to the range.
