World Whisky of the Year 2012

“The 21-year old Old Pulteney absolutely exploded from the glass with vitality, charisma and class.”- Jim Murray, Whisky Bible 2012
Old Pulteney 21 Year Old has been voted 2012 World Whisky of the Year by the prestigious “Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible.”
Scoring a record-equalling 97.5 points out of 100, it is only the third time that a single malt has ever won the prestigious award, and Old Pulteney are just the second Scottish distillery to do so.

American oak, plus some Spanish oak first fill. However, there is a higher proportion of ex-Oloroso sherry cask compared to the 17 Years Old.
