Notes on 2008 SV Ink#4 Old Pulteney 14 Year Old: Signatory Vintage continue a series which features sought-after malts selected exclusively for French retailer, Le Comptoir Irlandais. Easily one of the highlights of collection #4 is this little beauty from one of the most northerly distilleries in Scotland, guaranteeing a long, slow ageing and a strong sense of place. Located in a historic fishing port where whisky quickly joined herring in the holds of boats for export across Europe, the sea expresses itself in Pulteney's distillate. At natural strength, you can expect a salt-infused malt, round and balanced, with minerality, fino sherry and maritime notes, in this case gaining a chocolatey edge from Sherry wood. Distilled in 2008 and aged for 14 years before finishing in first-fill Sherry cask #5, it comes bottled without chill filtration. 56% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the bottlers... Nose: round, gourmet, roasted coffee and chocolate notes, hint of pepper, slightly mineral. Mouth: oily, chocolate texture, marked by Sherry. Slight mineral, herbaceous notes of heather and honey. Finish: rustic, maritime, long.

Notes on Glenallachie 10YO Cask Strength Batch 9: The Glenallachie batches continue to roll out. Their quality and style have received acclaim with the bar set high early (readers may recall the fourth batch was awarded ‘World’s Best Single Malt’ at the World Whiskies Awards 2021). Using various proportions of sherry and bourbon barrels in the mix, Batch 9 promises a typically effusive malt, described as bursting with aromas of mocha, heather honey, sweet raisins and dried red berries while the palate features lashings of cinnamon spice, molasses and honeycomb followed by ginger and dark chocolate on the finish. 58.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered and natural colour.
