OLD PULTENEY Coastal Series Pineau des Charentes, 46% ABV

Pulteney Distillery, located at Wick at the northern Highlands of Scotland, produces hand-crafted single malt whiskies and age them right by the sea, thereby giving them an unmistakable coastal character. 

This is the first bottling of a series of four limited editions that will be released each year. With this “Coastal Series,” Old Pulteney aims to showcase different maturation processes in barrels from coastal regions. Old Pulteney thus recalls its origins and its remarkable profile as a maritime single malt, while bringing a breath of fresh air to its range. This limited edition is aged in bourbon barrels and Pineau des Charentes barrels.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
