Old Pulteney 2004/2022 Cask 222 Germany Exclusive 0.7l, alc. 54.2% vol.

The Pulteney Distillery, which bottles its single malts as "Old Pulteney", was founded in 1826 in the port town of Wick in the northern Highlands. When the distillery opened, the town of Wick was experiencing a massive boom in herring fishing. The large number of people employed in the fishing industry forced the town council to declare a ban on alcohol in Wick. Pulteney is one of the few Scottish distilleries located in the town centre rather than outside it.

The distillery from the Highlands bottled this Old Pulteney Single Cask Whisky exclusively for the German market. The Scotch enjoyed its 17-year barrel aging from 2004 to 2022. It was allowed to mature entirely in the bourbon barrel with the barrel number 222. The distillery bottled the single malt Scotch whisky at an alcohol content of 54.2 percent by volume. As a natural bottling, it also comes without coloring or chill filtration. Just 222 bottles are available to buy.

Aroma: The single cask whisky is sweet and aromatic on the nose. It brings with it sweet impressions of vanilla and caramel. Butterscotch and honey are present. Behind this lie fine spicy oak notes.

Taste: On the tongue, the Old Pulteney Cask 222 unfolds creamily and exudes aromas of sweet honey and vanilla. Fruity notes are also clearly perceptible, while the salt in the taste evokes maritime impressions.
