Adelphi Selection 17 Year Pulteney Distillery 2008 700ml

Pulteney Distillery was established in 1826 by James Henderson. In 1930 production ceased and did not recommence until 1951 and in 1958–59 a comprehensive rebuilding program took place. Far up north in the port town of Wick lies the Pulteney Distillery, producing accordingly maritime coastal whiskies. Pulteney is one of the distilleries that use worm tubs for cooling, which gives the spirit a certain funkiness.

A 17-year-old Pulteney from Adelphi, matured in a refill bourbon hogshead. The color is straw gold. 

The nose reveals light fruits with a green – but not unripe – component, perhaps green nutshells. The base is vanilla cream, some almond cream, buttery fudge, stewed apples and pears with a clove. The aftertaste reveals a slight dryness from the wood, which is countered by lingering notes of creamy caramel. This Pulteney has a strong, creamy caramel note that makes it very drinkable. However, it also has some bitter aspects, not as an unpleasant note, but as a good complement and a slight quirk. A lovely whisky that suits the North.
