Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection Pulteney 1982 40 Year Old
Originally distilled at the Pulteney distillery in the northern Highlands — one of Scotland’s most northerly whisky producers, famed for its distinctive coastal style — this whisky was independently bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, one of the industry’s most respected custodians of rare Scotch. The whisky sat in a refill American oak hogshead for around 38 years before release, yielding a very limited run of bottles from a single cask. This kind of long maturation and single-cask focus makes it a standout example of both Pulteney’s character and Gordon & MacPhail’s Private Collection ethos.
Tasting Notes:
Expect an inviting nose of rich honey and citrus zest layered with vanilla and ripe orchard fruit, leading to a palate of melon, lemon, and gentle spice with hints of soft white pepper. The long finish reveals toasted oak and lingering sweetness balanced with subtle maritime salinity — a profile that reflects extended age and the influence of its coastal Highland heritage.
