Old Pulteney has expanded its global travel retail portfolio with the launch of a 13 Year Old channel-exclusive expression.
To be unveiled in May at TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition (International Beverage stand 2-H9), the new expression will initially be available at selected locations across Europe and the UK from May/June.
Bottled at 43% ABV, this RRP £65 (US$81) single malt will become a part of Old Pulteney’s exclusive travel retail line-up, which currently includes Old Pulteney 10 Year Old and 16 Year Old.
Matured in American oak casks and finished in Spanish oak casks, the whisky offers complex flavours of coconut, citrus, rich vanilla custard and candied almonds. With a medium to long finish, it has a salted caramel flavour thanks to the combination of toffee aroma with the coastal air at the spirit’s origin in Pulteney Distillery, north Scotland.
Pulteney Distillery Manager Malcolm Waring said, “The launch of Old Pulteney 13 Year Old reaffirms our commitment to investing in the global travel retail channel and we are confident that it will be a welcome addition to our range.
“Each of our travel retail whiskies embodies Pulteney Distillery’s signature coastal style, with a distinctive flavour that comes from being matured by the sea, and striking modern maritime-inspired packaging that perfectly reflects the whisky inside.” ✈
