2004 Old Pulteney 18 Year Old Single Cask No.222 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Keep in mind that this is a single cask at natural strength, and these well-matured Pulteneys begin to look like extremely good value when compared to the price of the official release 18 year old ($250+ at the time of writing). Sparkling gold in colour and promising a high strength blast of x-bourbon matured Pulteney goodness, expect seeping salt-mineral inclusions in a whisky that's juicy, dense, but at the same time airy and devilishly drinkable. Originally a German exclusive and limited to 222 bottles at 54.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Notes from the producers... notes of rich toffee and fruity apples are complemented by creamy vanilla and a delicate cinnamon spice. Honey and fresh tobacco are followed by a slight coastal saltiness to usher in a long, satisfying finish.
