Here, Pulteney distillery manager Malcolm Waring will introduce the new expressions in a series of exclusive masterclasses.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Old Pulteney 1990 Vintage Cask<\/strong>
\nThe 1990 Vintage cask tells a tale of craftsmanship and dedication, dating back over a quarter of a century. This full-bodied spirit began its story in American oak ex-bourbon casks, developing its characteristically complex nature, before moving to Spanish oak where it became richer, darker and adopted a sweetness with hints of spice. The unique expression finished with a brief spell in casks which previously held heavily peated whisky – providing a unique smoky final flourish for a powerful Maritime Malt.<\/p>\n

Polished copper in colour, 1990 Vintage Cask has an aroma of spice, vanilla, toffee and sweet honey, balanced by a thin veil of warming wood smoke and oak. Bitter orange marmalade and caramel apples soon follow on the nose to create a long-lasting sensory experience for this exquisite dram.<\/p>\n

Rich in mouth feel and intense in flavour, the palate opens up with strong praline and sultana sweetness on a thick bed of warm, savoury smoke. Citrus strikes the top note with hints of vanilla lingering in the background, giving a finish which is long and smoky.<\/p>\n

Old Pulteney 1990 is neither chill-filtered nor coloured and is bottled at its natural cask strength of 46% ABV. It has a RRP of \u00a3288 per bottle.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Old Pulteney 2006 Vintage Cask<\/strong>
\nThe 2006 Vintage cask is matured in ex Bourbon American Oak casks for 11 years. Polished copper in colour, the scent is spicy and sweet with notes of vanilla and toffee, balanced by a thin veil of wood smoke and embers. Bitter marmalade and hints of caramel apples soon follow.
\nRich in texture and with intense flavours, this expression entices the palate with strong chords of pralines and sultanas on a bed of deliciously warm, savoury smoke. Citrus and vanilla notes linger for a long, smoky finish.
\nRecommended retail price is \u00a355.00 per bottle, The Old Pulteney 2006 Vintage is neither chill-filtered nor coloured and is bottled at a cask strength of 46% ABV<\/p>\n
