Old Pulteney Coastal Series: Pineau De Charentes (1x70cl)

Old Pulteney is made in Wick, right up on the Highland coast, and the distillery leans into that location - the house style is usually described as briny and maritime. This Coastal Series bottling spends time in Pineau des Charentes casks, a French fortified grape drink, which typically brings a softer, fruitier layer on top of the salty backbone.

A good pick if you already drink whisky and want something a bit different from the usual sherry or bourbon finish, and an easy gift for a friend who likes trying new things. Free delivery in Hong Kong over HK$800, flat HK$80 below, no minimum order.

Tasting notes

Coastal Highland malts finished in fortified grape casks typically show sea spray and light salt against soft stone fruit, honey and a rounded sweetness on the finish.
