Pentland Skerries new travel retail
exclusive.
 Pentland
Skerries is the third of three new bottlings from
Old Pulteney in their new
Lighthouse Series which is exclusive to
travel retail.
Old Pulteney Pentland Skerries is encased in striking purple packaging,
this design features images of two
lighthouses of the same name. Developed
with input from renowned Scottish
engineer Robert Stevenson, the Pentland
Skerries lighthouses were built in 1794
on the uninhabited Pentland Skerries
islands off the far north eastern coast,
en route to Orkney.
The whisky is
matured in Spanish ex sherry casks and
has a sweet, full-bodied taste with
hints of raisins, spices and chocolate.
Bottled at 46% ABV, with a RRP of £54.99
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Creamy toffee, raisins, sultanas,
vanilla, almonds.
Taste:
Sweet juicy barley sugar, dark treacle
toffee, burnt raisins, orange, dark
chocolate, Demerara sugar sweetness,
touch of spice in the background.
Finish:
A deliciously lingering toffee'd, dry
sherried fruity finish with a bit of
slowly fading cherry, raisins and oak
spice.
Comment:
Its deep amber colour tells you what to
expect, a lovely full bodied well
balanced lively sherried dram for the
sherry oak lovers. Full of flavour and a
lovely lingering finish.
