Noss
Head is one of three new bottlings from
Old Pulteney in their Old Pulteney
Lighthouse Series which is exclusive to
travel retail.
Old Pulteney Noss Head comes with a vibrant blue label and
tube, the design features an image of
the Noss Head lighthouse which the
whisky is inspired by. Built in 1849 by
Robert Arnot and named after the Old
Norse word ‘Snos’, the lighthouse
represents the nose-shaped headland
where it is situated.
Matured in
American Oak ex bourbon casks the malt
inside has a full bodied, sweet and
spicy taste with hints of coconut,
lemons and oranges and a long-lasting
finish. Bottled at 46% ABV, with a RRP
of £39.99
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Vanilla icing sugar, coconut, sugar
almonds, creamy butter tablet, lemon.
Taste:
Demerara sugar, vanilla, candied lemon
meringue, cherry, touch of orange zest,
coconut, touch of oak spice.
Finish:
Sweet, vanilla, lemon, coconut, mild
slowly fading spice.
Comment:
A refreshingly sweet dram, no age
statement but I wouldn't say this is a
young whisky at all. It has a deliciously
sweet candied fruitiness. Reminds me
very much of the outstanding Old
Pulteney WK499 Isabella Fortuna so if
you liked that you will love this.
