PINEAU DES CHARENTES - The Coastal Series
Pineau des Charentes offers a lighter, sweeter taste layered on signature Old Pulteney flavours, delivering a truly wonderful dram.
Cask Maturation
Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes is a no-age statement whisky, and making it has been an adventure in itself. As our Distillery Manager Malcolm Waring explains: ‘Under my watch, the casks are opened when I feel they are ready. The result is a beautiful sweetness that perfectly complements Old Pulteney’s signature saltiness, delivering in the same way as an older expression.
As you can probably tell, we’re justifiably proud of our new Pineau des Charentes single malt. But if you need another reason to try it, we can think of a few. Its bronze colour and fragrant aroma of honey, stewed fruits and toasted spices. A lingering, sweet and nutty taste that gives way to a coastal finish that’s almost savoury. It’s an unforgettable take on the Maritime Malt.
TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Bronze with a pink hue.
Aroma: Fragrant and rich with honey sweetness and vanilla at the base. Intense fruitiness starts jammy and stewed and develops into candied oranges and sticky balsamic raisins. Hints of toasted spices and powder pepper complete this stunning profile.
Taste: A lingering finish showcases notes of caramelised hazelnuts and ground spices, broadening in sweetness, and then drying ever so slowly towards a savoury finale of coastal minerality.
