Bottlings

Old Pulteney WK499 Isabella Fortuna

February 6, 2011

This duty free only bottling is not nearly as maritime as the standard Pulteney expressions. It’s not overly complex but very enjoyable anyway. – Rating: 82/100

Old Pulteney WK209

January 21, 2011

A very nice expression centered around dried fruits and mild spices but it’s not not the maritime style you might expect from this distillery. No need to add water. – Rating: 84/100

Old Pulteney 1991/2006

September 27, 2010

Very complex and very well balanced. This is a highly enjoyable malt that can be sipped drop by drop. There is a minimal bitterness but it’s not disturbing in any way. – Rating: 87/100

A very nice costal malt that reminds me a little of some Sprinbanks. It is quite mild but pretty complex and a delight to enjoy – Rating: 86/100

A very pleasant nose, but the whisky is a but watery on the palate. Please upgrade this nice dram to at least 43%! – Score: 80/100
