Prepare to set sail..

Old Pulteney, that sea-dog of Scottish distillers, has done it again with their newest no-age statement release Navigator. Honoring the sailors of old and the sea which flavors their whiskies, Old Pulteney has delivered an uncompromising whisky with tons of character. It begins with a nose filled with sweet apples, caramel, chocolate and gentle vanilla. Developing on the palate, it delivers apples, oranges and sweet honey with a nice full mouth-feel. The finish is nice and long with a blast of sea salt delivering a surprise blow which will make you want to take another sip as you wonder why you didn't taste it until the finish! Bottled at a respectable 46% ABV, one gets to appreciate the taste without being overpowered. This is a real winner, and much more refined than their 12 yr old release.
