This 2013 vintage Pulteney was matured 11 years in a First Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel before bottling at 53%. 87pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"Distilled in 2013 and matured in a first-fill bourbon barrel, this 11-year-old Pulteney comes bottled at 53% after a touch of reduction. It’s a whisky that wears its coastal roots proudly: rich, briny backbone, flashes of freshness, and the sturdy Highland heft that makes Pulteney such a favourite. A dram that captures the character of the north-east shore in full sail – bold, bright, and unmistakably maritime."

"It looks like we can spot the landlord of the Fiddler’s Inn on the label. Colour: straw. Nose: this time we're closer to the maritime tension of the distillate itself, with the oak playing a lesser role. There’s green apple, green banana, a few touches of lovage and sorrel, then a dab of honey smoothing the whole affair out. Very fine—youthful, fresh, easy. With water: water brings it nearer to the officials, though the lovage still holds its ground, along with a few unexpectedly waxy notes. Mouth (neat): same markers, but this one's livelier than the rather lovely OBs, less influenced by American oak, and more led by lime and even a drop of olive brine. With water: much the same again, though this time with a dash of orange cream. And yes, the lovage remains! Finish: fairly long, extending the palate with matching notes. Comments: in truth, we’re very close to the previous official. SGP:551 - 87 points."
