- Description
- Old Pulteney's 16-year expression captures the briny, maritime character of the northern Highlands, enriched by a dual maturation in American bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks. The combination yields a naturally fruity and spiced profile, with the sherry adding depth and warmth to the whisky's inherent coastal minerality. The texture is smooth and layered, balancing sweetness with subtle saline notes. Best enjoyed neat or with a touch of water to open up its complex layers.
