Old Pulteney-1990-#5469
Bottled 26th May 2006 by Gordon & MacPhail, Elgin
Cask no. 5469, First Fill Sherry Butt. Cask Strength. In original tin case. Good labelling. Level: into neck. "...Mouth (neat): dry sherry and dry sherry plus dry sherry – amazing. Strong coffee, bitter chocolate, Smyrna raisins, old dark rum (very close), overcooked caramel... It isn't really thick but very assertive. And a bit too strong... With water: okay, not it got a little too dry and drying I think, and maybe a little sourish. But what a huge liquorice now! Finish: very long, very chocolaty and liquoricy, with just a slight cardboardiness and tannins from the wood, as well as a little salt and maybe even peat. But what a beast! A rather different expression of sherry matured Scotch, well worth trying if you're into that sort of things like I am." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
