This bottle was featured on Day 21 of our 2023 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can read the post on it here.
Part of the new Old Pulteney range released late in 2018, the 15-year-old is matured in both Ex-Bourbon & Ex-Sherry and is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Matured for 15 years, this is our most balanced and smooth single malt. Balancing two different sides of the flavour spectrum, this single malt marries these perfectly, whilst also reflecting our coastal home and its unwavering influence.
On one hand, this is an intense single malt, yet at the same time, it is truly balanced.
Spice and sweetness unite in this naturally rich amber whisky to celebrate rich flavours, yet lighter, more refreshing coastal notes show another side of this single malt."

Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Salted toffee, Butter Ripple Schnapps, applesauce, peaches and cream, pumpkin pie, plus a touch of toasted oak and ocean waves.
Palate: More salted toffee, plus graham crackers, milk chocolate, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, apple crumble, tinned peaches in syrup, basil and oregano spices, and Ovaltine.
Finish: Sweet and salty on the way down with lingering spice notes.
Comment: If you want coastal notes without peat and seaweed, Old Pulteney is always a good one to go with. The 15 Year is a solid step up from the 12 Year thanks to the extra years in cask and the higher ABV.
Producer Tasting Note
Aroma: Intense yet balanced. Bursting with rich dried fruit, ripe apples and citrus, with honey sweetness and a generous chord of creamy vanilla. Slightly chocolaty and floral in the background.
Taste: Fragrant spices and Christmas cake, with layers of chocolate and a distinct dark toffee sweetness. There is a hint of salty sea air on the finish, a clear connection to the influence of the sea on this single malt.
