The Signatory Vintage Pulteney 16 Years Old 2008 Cask Strength #12 is an exceptional single cask bottling from the renowned Cask Strength Collection of the independent bottler Signatory Vintage. This exclusive bottling comes from the Pulteney Distillery, one of the most northerly distilleries on the Scottish mainland, known for its maritime, full-bodied Highland whiskies.
Distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2024, this single malt matured for a full 16 years in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry butt - a maturation that gives the whisky intense color, depth and complex aromas. It was bottled at natural cask strength at 56.4% vol., naturally not chill-filtered and without colorants to preserve all the authenticity and strength of this special whisky.
The combination of Pulteney's characteristically spicy, slightly salty house style and the rich, fruity-spicy sherry influences from the first-fill Oloroso butt makes for an intense, full-bodied taste experience - ideal for lovers of rare, strong Highland malts. Packaged in the typical Signatory tin box, this limited bottling is suitable both as a collector's item and as a sophisticated gift.
