Tasting Notes
"Bringing in Old Pulteney's signatures maritime style and also shows some sweetness of dried fruits and vanilla dipped green apples on the nose. The palate moves through salt and brine on the lips to a calm port of lemon zest and rustic oak on the tongue. The sharp sea spray occurs infrequently, though is a pleasant reminder when it does. The finish is long and tart over time, graceful in its movements and receding like a low tide with briny minerals dropping off the tongue."
