Old Pulteney 13 Year Single Cask

Old Pulteney is called the “Maritime Malt” and lies in the town of Wick, the northernmost distillery on the mainland of Scotland. Founded in 1826, the distillery was remote enough early on to rely on the sea for the movement of its whisky. Named after the local founder of the Pulteneytown area of Wick, Sir William Pulteney, The distillery closed in 1930 for around 20 years but has been in production ever since, often with a revolving selection of award-winning single malts. The popular 21 year expression was discontinued recently and a new core range was introduced. This Old Pulteney 13 Year offering is a single cask selection made by Ace Spirits.

The Glenrothes has a way of categorizing their scotch that is markedly different than most other distilleries. Rather than bearing a standard age statement or name in lieu of one, the Glenrothes labels their offerings by the year in which the barrels were first laid down. The bottle details tell you when the scotch was bottled, letting you do your own math to figure out the age. The Vintage 1998 is from their Core Vintage line, though there are Reserve, Special Release, and Classic lines too.

The Lagavulin Distillers Edition is part of a Diageo series called Distillers Editions. This series takes what might be considered a base whisky from a given distillery, like the Talisker 10 Year or the Oban 14 Year, and gives them further maturation in casks that once held some additional wine or spirit. Historically these have been various kinds of sherries or ports, but could also showcase other choices as the company dictates. The Lagavulin Distillers Edition is aged 16 years and further finished in ex-PX sherry casks
