Nose
Brandy cream and raisins. Mild liquorice and a touch of shortbread. Light planed wood. Fruitcake. Water relaxes it slightly giving planed wood prominence and adds a slight tar. The trademark saltiness of Old Pulteney is definitely here. Then the sherry takes over. Coffee, varnish and old wood. Coconut too. After a while the aromas get sweeter with plums and fudge.
Palate
Treacle and alcohol burn. Fruitcake, plums and oak. Water makes sweeter. Toffee style. Very slick. Somewhat of a charring touch, though this lightens to light coffee with more water. Salt and pepper on the arrival. But they quickly make place for plums, chocolate and dark caramel. Also some almond paste and mocha. Some sharp edges here, but highly enjoyable.
Finish
Charring and alcohol at first. Tongue numbing. Bitter chocolate. Water makes much more chocolate and toffee and much more appealing. Slight salt and raisins here. Chocolate, a lot of it. Long and satisfying.
