By Old Pulteney

Take a look at our simple Whisky Gift Guide and see which Old Pulteney best suits the person you have in mind.

Drinking whisky is great but giving a bottle to someone special for Christmas is, arguably, even better. A bottle of single malt Scotch whisky makes for an excellent, classy Christmas gift. It’s something you can never have too much of and, more importantly, there is a good chance the person who finds a bottle of liquid gold in their stocking on Christmas Day is going to feel like sharing. After all that’s what the festive season is all about.

But what whisky should you get? Take a look at our simple Whisky Gift Guide and see which Old Pulteney best suits the person you have in mind.

Old Pulteney Clipper Commemorative

Think about your brother or sister, your work associate or even that secret Santa person you drew. Click here to find out more about our Old Pulteney Clipper Commemorative bottle .

Old Pulteney 17 Year Old 

This is a real crowd-pleaser. The thing we hear most often about our mid-range expression is “hidden gem” but “stunning” is a close second. Matured to perfection this classic single malt is packed with sweetness, creamy vanilla, citrus and the signature maritime notes. Pure class. This would be great for your boss, if you want to impress, or in-laws if you really want to impress. Or maybe get it for your best friend and add two glasses as a hint?

Old Pulteney 21 Year Old 

This award-winning incarnation of Old Pulteney was matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks resulting in a complex, intense and luxurious spirit. It’s the perfect accompaniment to cheese and dark chocolate, both of which have Christmas written all over them, but a true malthead will serve the 21 Year Old on its own and then spend hours just sniffing it and sighing with delight. Get this for the whisky-enthusiast in your life or that person who generally appreciates the finer things. Old Pulteney 21 Year Old will also delight a foodie or a fine wine lover.

Old Pulteney 1990 Vintage 

This limited Vintage bottling is an interesting one. It’s an Old Pulteney with all its signature character but there is an unexpected twist to it too. The spirit was matured in casks which previously held peaty whisky, imparting on the otherwise un-peated Pulteney distillate a layer of smokiness. It’s one of the most interesting recent releases on the market and the taste profile is nothing short of spectacular, and that’s not just our opinion. Get a bottle of this for that one person who simply deserves to be spoiled this year. Your partner perhaps? If he or she is a whisky-drinker, this is sure to hit the spot.
