Old Pulteney 50 year old, 40.8%

Price: 26500 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch

This golden anniversary release combines four American oak casks of 50 year old single malts. Coastal minerality on the nose, with Honey Nut Cheerios, seasoned oak, grated nutmeg, golden sultana, tobacco, cigar box, cinnamon stick, and Sachertorte. This gentle dram offers flavors of citrus peel, dark chocolate, oak tannins, and black cherry, with hints of salt and spice before a long finish with more citrus juiciness and vanilla essence. Delicate yet decadent.
