Matured first in American oak ex-bourbon casks and then in Spanish oak ex-sherry casks, it is bottled at 46% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a quarter of a century, the casks of this whisky breathed the sea air of the Caithness coast in the distillery's warehouses, the spirit mellowing at its own steady pace in step with the rhythm of Wick's harbour. Wick is a harbour town with a long fishing heritage, and Old Pulteney's whisky has long been tied to the sea, which is why Old Pulteney calls itself the Maritime Malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cask regime gives the whisky its depth. Around 22 years in American oak lay down a spicy sweetness of vanilla, honey and fruit, and the final years in Spanish oak sherry butts add colour, richness and dark, dried-fruit notes. The nose opens with heavy spices and dark chocolate before rum-soaked raisin, lime honey, orange peel and baked apple, and the palate is built around bitter chocolate and creamy vanilla with hints of toffee, fresh lemon and coconut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach bottle wears Old Pulteney's distinctive silver medallion and comes in a navy blue presentation box marked Twenty Five Years Old. It is an elegant gift and a fine bottle for anyone who loves the coastal malts of northern Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy spices and dark chocolate, leading to rum-soaked raisin and lime honey, with orange peel and baked apples.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bitter chocolate and creamy vanilla, with hints of toffee, fresh lemon and coconut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and spicy, with a glimpse of dried fruit cake and exotic wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Pulteney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e American oak ex-bourbon casks, then Spanish oak ex-sherry casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wick, Caithness, Highlands, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat in a tulip glass and let it rest for a few minutes; a drop of water brings out the citrus and coconut.
