    Old Pulteney 2010 #1802

    $132.00 Availability: In Stock
    An unusual example of the make. Very deep amber, with ruby lights; a polished conker. Some nose prickle, as expected at this strength. The top notes suggest European oak maturation – malt loaf, mixed dried fruits, kitchen spices (allspice, mace, nutmeg). A smooth texture and a sweetish, spicy taste; medium length finish with dried fruits in the aftertaste.
