Old Pulteney 40 Year Old

Nose: Old wooden furniture lacquer , with some fruit and sugared peel of red grapefruit. Chocolate coated citrus candied fruit. Spices and gentle cinnamon and clove. Hint of apple peel, and maybe a drop of pear juice. The slightest hint of brine, but almost unnoticeable.

Palate: Cpicy. Cherries. Grapefruit. Apple. Dark chocolate Bon bons. Vanilla. Old oak chests. Seasoned with wood spice : cinnamon. Nutmeg. Very vibrant and kicking for a 40 year old with lots of oomph. Exquisite.

Finish : Long. Spicy. Chocolate covered orange peel candy. Rum soaked raisins and nuts.
