Old Pulteney 16 year old Traveller's Exclusive, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Initially matured in bourbon barrels and finished in Spanish oak casks, this serves up Old Pulteney’s classic maritime notes of salty coastal air, with aromas of black cherry, blackened oak, gingerbread, Earl Grey tea, and leather. Luxuriously tasty, it’s honeyed and sweet initially, with golden syrup, apple pie, and caramel developing to show subtle spices, chocolate-covered cherries, and a velvety, chocolate cake finish.
