Old Pulteney Scotch whisky is launching just 450 cases of a new limited edition 35YO expression

Old Pulteney 35 Year Old has been matured in American ex-Bourbon and Spanish ex-Sherry, hand chosen by Pulteney distillery manager, Malcolm Waring and will be rolled out to global markets.

The new expression is said to be full bodied with sweet and spicy tastes to start that develop into “signature” Old Pulteney flavours, including honey, rum soaked raisins and oranges, with notes of seasoned leather, pralines and a “touch of the salty North Sea air”.

“Old Pulteney 35 Year Old is a world class expression and we are delighted to add another high age, limited edition to our existing portfolio,” said Margaret Mary Clarke, Old Pulteney senior brand manager.

“From its eye catching packaging to its superior taste, the new malt is a true reflection of Old Pulteney’s outstanding quality and craftsmanship.

“We are confident that it will take its place amongst the best luxury whiskies available today and cement our position as one of the UK’s top 10 single malts.”

The 35YO expression is packaged in a wooden box with a porthole revealing the Old Pulteney bottle, which has been designed with the herring drifter that has become a symbol of the brand.

Old Pulteney 35 Year Old is non-chill filtered, bottled at 42.5% and carries an RRP of £500 per 700ml bottle.
