Old Pulteney Coastal Series: Pineau de Charentes, 70cl, 46% abv

The Coastal Series launches with Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes, bringing flavours of the French coastline to The Maritime Malt. In new territory for the brand, Old Pulteney’s whisky is further matured in ex-Pineau des Charentes wine casks, carrying echoes of the iconic, sweet aperitif native to the Charente-Maritime region on the southwest coast of France, and intertwining them beautifully with the flavours of the North that Old Pulteney is known for.

Taking on the same careful craftsmanship and process that goes into every expression, Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes is the most innovative cask maturation yet, offering a lighter, sweeter taste layered on the classic Old Pulteney base.

This release is fragrant and rich with sweet honey and vanilla base notes. Intense fruitiness with sticky balsamic raisins on the nose leads into oak-perfumed wine reduction and creamy vanilla. Caramelised hazelnuts and ground spices grow into an immense, lingering finish.
It tails off into a broad sweetness, drying slowly towards a savoury finale of coastal minerality.

Tasting Notes

Old Pulteney Coastal Series: Pineau de Charentes.

Maturation: This limited edition expression from Old Pulteney is matured in ex-bourbon casks and wine casks from the oceanic Charente region north of Bordeaux.

Producer Tasting Notes:

Nose: Fragrant & rich, with honey sweetness and vanilla at the base. Intense fruitiness starts jammy & stewed, and develops into candied oranges & sticky balsamic raisins. Hints of toasted spices & powder pepper complete this stunning profile.

Palate: Viscous & lingering - Warm baking spices lead, followed by gentle nuttiness, overall reminiscent of dukkah. Beautifully structured oakiness is perfumed with a wine reduction and balanced by creamy vanilla.

Finish: Caramelised hazelnuts & ground spices grow into an immense, lingering finish. It tails off into a broad sweetness, drying ever so slowly towards a savoury finale of coastal minerality.
