Blind Summit

Pulteney 18 Years Old

ABV: 51.8% 50 cL

This single malt from Pulteney Distillery from the coastal Highland region of Scotland was distilled on the 11th of February 2008 and it spent eighteen years of full maturation in a single refill bourbon hogshead.

Sometimes a whisky just finds its own way, and this is one of those. Elegant, effortless and layered in a way that keeps revealing itself the longer you sit with it.

Bottled at natural cask strength, without chill filtration or added colour.

Nose

Yellow fruit and wild honey on the nose, with sponge cake, preserved pears and butterscotch.

Palate

The elegance carries through on the palate, wave after wave of honey in different registers, with yellow fruit, vanilla and Werther's Originals underneath. Beautifully balanced.

Finish

Long to finish, with salted honey, the fruit and sponge notes fading gently and cleanly.

£95.00

Tax included.

Old Pulteney Distillery, founded in 1826 in the coastal town of Wick in Caithness, is one of Scotland’s most northerly mainland distilleries and is famously known as “The Maritime Malt” for its strong connection to the North Sea. Historically accessible only by sea, the distillery grew alongside Wick’s herring industry, with whisky and supplies transported by boat. Its spirit is shaped by distinctive stills with large boil balls, traditional worm tub condensers, and maturation in a cool, salty coastal climate, which together contribute to a character that is lightly briny, sweet, malty, and gently fruity. Now owned by Inver House Distillers, Old Pulteney is celebrated for producing elegant single malts that balance maritime freshness with honeyed richness and subtle spice.
