New Old Pulteney 30 Year Old

[William]

Old Pulteney's newest, yet oldest, release to date - Old Pulteney 30 year old.

Old Pulteney single malt whisky has announced the launch of their oldest and most exclusive super-premium whisky. This very rare 30 year old single malt was distilled at the most northerly distillery on the UK mainland and embodies the wind-swept and rugged character of the far north.



Matured at the distillery for 30 years in American White Oak, it offers connoisseurs of fine spirits and luxury scotch whisky enthusiasts an intensely complex single malt.

Already renowned for its 12, 17 and 21 year old whiskies, Old Pulteney's 30 year old is perfect as an after dinner dram or to celebrate a special occasion. It is presented in a lacquered walnut burr box which is lined with sailcloth, reflecting the brand's unique maritime heritage.

Old Pulteney's senior brand manager, Iain Baxter: "We are really excited about the launch of our oldest ever Old Pulteney. This whisky has been looked after at the distillery for 30 years and the age contributes a huge amount of complexity. It has all the hallmarks of Old Pulteney; spice and green apples, and sweet vanilla and coconut notes from the American Oak. But unusually for such an old whisky there's a remarkable touch of tropical fruit on the nose - some people have picked up guavas and mangos! I'd say that for a malt whisky with so much age and depth, it's still incredibly approachable."?

To tie in with the launch of the whisky, Old Pulteney is running an online competition where visitors can win a bottle of this exclusive whisky. Each month for the next six months, visitors to the Old Pulteney website can guess where they think bottles of a missing crate of the 30 year old went missing around the coast of Wick where the distillery is based. You can find the competition at www.oldpulteney.com/30yearold

Old Pulteney 30 year old retails at £250 in the UK, and due to limited supply it will be available from specialist stores only.

Not a bad price for a 30 year old, i have always liked Old Pulteney, have tried their 12, 17 and 21 year old whiskies and found them all very good. Good to see another one added to the range, i may have to treat myself.

I had heard a rumour of this coming earlier in the year. If the quality of there other bottlings are anything to go by this should be a popular whisky.

I had my first taste of the Old Pulteney 30 last night, i must say it was excellent - a lovely complex malt, with citrus floral tones like younger Old Pulteney bottlings and also delicious lemons, honey and a bit of spice with a lovely long sweet finish. This bottle aint going to last me long.

Hi McKay

I was lucky enough to be sent a sample of this to taste when it was first released and I also thought it was a excellent dram. It is noticeably more complex than the younger Old Pulteney's and i can recommend it if anyone is looking to treat themselves. This is the note i took at the time when i tasted it:

Nose: Lovely sweet barley sugar, with floral and honey. A delicious mix of tropical citrus fruit with lemons standing out from the crowd.

Palate: Loads going on - a little oil, smoke, spices, oak and citrusy then the delicious honey and like on the nose the lemons stand out.

Finish: A long sweet dry finish.

This is Old Pulteney at its best.
