The second Old Pulteney 35 Year Old release is matured in ex-American bourbon and ex-Spanish oak casks which have been hand selected by Distillery Manager, Malcolm Waring. Each bottle reflects Old Pulteney’s uniquely shaped stills. The quality of the whisky is perfectly embodied by the striking beauty of its packaging, which is similar to the first 35 year old release but with colours chosen to emphasise the Spanish oak influence on its flavours. It is encased in a beautifully engraved wooden box featuring our distinctive herring drifter symbol and is naturally coloured and non-chill filtered at 42.5% ABV.
A full-bodied expression, it is initially sweet and spicy on the palate, before quickly developing a range of flavours from honey, rum soaked raisins and oranges to the heavier notes of seasoned leather, pralines and a touch of the salty North Sea air before finishing with waves of dried fruit. A truly indulgent, perfectly balanced whisky, on the nose, it brings together honey sweetness, exotic spices and citrus, before releasing more gentle undertones of vanilla.
Old Pulteney Senior Brand Manager, Margaret Mary Clarke commented: ‘We are delighted to launch the second release of Old Pulteney 35 Year Old Single Malt, building on the success of our first release which was in high demand amongst whisky lovers around the globe. It is an exceptional expression, fantastically balanced and a true representation of the skill and quality of the Old Pulteney distillery team.’
