Recently
released Old Pulteney 25 year old
impresses judges at World Whiskies
Awards.
 Old
Pulteney 25 Year Old was only introduced
by the Northern Highlands Pulteney
distillery late last year to replace the
Old Pulteney 21 Year Old and it seems it
has already impressed the judges at the
prestigious World Whiskies Awards 2018
where the Old Pulteney 25 Year Old
expression picked up a Gold accolade in
the Scotch Highlands ‘21 & Over’
category.
As
you can imagine, the 25 year old Single
Malt Scotch Whisky, which was released
in October 2017, fought off stiff
competition from other Scotch Highland
whiskies to take the Gold honour at the
awards.
The World Whiskies Awards, now in its
11th year, is a global celebration of
the very best in all internationally
recognised styles, awarding and
promoting the world’s best whiskies to
consumers and the trade across the
globe. This year, the competition
received entries from over 20 countries,
which were judged by over 50
international judges.
Described by the distillery as: "Glimmering bronze in colour, Old
Pulteney 25 Years Old contains mature
and fragrant flavour notes. The
expression opens with heavy spices and
dark chocolate which effortlessly lead
to rum-soaked raisins and lime honey,
punctuated with clean notes of orange
peel and baked apples.
"The flavour is firmly anchored in bitter
chocolate and creamy vanilla with hints
of toffee sweetness and crisp overtones
of fresh lemon and coconut. The finish
is long and spicy with a notes of dried
fruit cake and exotic wood, each dram
reflecting its expert craftsmanship with
a rich and satisfying taste."
Matured in
ex-bourbon American oak barrels for 22
years before adopting its spicy
sweetness, depth and colour from ex-Oloroso
Spanish oak butts before reaching its
premium age of 25 when it is bottled at
46% ABV.
Malcolm Waring, Distillery Manager for
Old Pulteney, commented on the WWA
award, saying: "This is a fantastic
accolade for Old Pulteney 25 Years Old.
We’re thrilled the expression has won a
Gold award having only been released
late last year. We’ve worked incredibly
hard to create another expression in the
Old Pulteney core collection that lives
up to the expectations of the others and
it’s with great pride that we can
announce this whisky is another award
winner in our growing portfolio."
You will find the award winning Old
Pulteney 25 year old available
