The Old Pulteney 21 Year Old is a single malt whisky produced by the Pulteney Distillery. The whisky's maturation process involved both American ex-bourbon and ex-Fino sherry casks, including second-fill American oak and first-fill Spanish oak casks. It is essential to note that the '21 Year Old' statement refers to the duration of maturation, which took place until its bottling in 2012.
A distinctive feature of this particular whisky is its status as a distillery bottling, indicating a direct link to the distillery's original production and strict quality control. The label also carries the age statement, a detail significant to whisky connoisseurs and collectors.
This whisky achieved critical acclaim by earning the title 'World Whisky of the Year' in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2012. Despite this recognition, production of this specific variant was halted in 2018, rendering existing bottles increasingly scarce.
Further distinguishing the Old Pulteney 21 Year Old is the blending of spirits from ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks, reflecting the distillery's attention to craft. The bottle's aesthetic features a printed glass label that encapsulates the age statement, a detail appealing to the discerning whisky enthusiast.
