Old Pulteney Huddart, a slightly different expression of this exceptional maritime malt whisky, is named after the street where the Distillery is situated, Huddart Street. This whisky undergoes maturation in American oak ex-bourbon casks and is subsequently finished in ex peat malt casks. The result is a whisky characterised by sweetness, ground spices, apple, and a subtle peat smoke.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 46% abv.
TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Rich Gold
NOSE
Rich and warming. Brimming initially with mellow wood smoke, honey and oily leather, blooming later into crisp green apple. Creamy vanilla and a hint of burnt toffee in the background.
TASTE
Freshly-ground spices and soft vanilla balance the notes of smoke and peat fire. There are both richly sweet and distinctly salty coastal flavours in the background, together reminiscent of salted caramel.
FINISH
Medium length with gentle spice and sweet smoke.
