{"product_id":"old-pulteney-50-year-old-200th-anniversary-release","title":"Old Pulteney 50 Year Old 200th Anniversary Release","description":"Created for Pulteney Distillery’s 200th anniversary, this 50 Year Old is the oldest whisky Old Pulteney has ever released. The expression brings together just four hogsheads, each matured for five decades and selected by Master of Whisky Creation Sarah Burgess. Only 200 bottles have been produced worldwide – one for each year since the distillery was founded in Wick in 1826.\n\nThe whisky was matured predominantly in American oak, with a smaller influence of European oak used to add richness and depth without overwhelming the long-aged spirit. After 50 years in cask, it is bottled at 40.8% ABV.\n\nThe nose opens with chocolate and sweet dried fruit, followed by spiced cedar, vanilla and floral notes. Candied orange peel and citrus oil lead the palate, alongside mature oak and a rich chocolate texture. The finish is long, moving towards tropical fruit with the maritime character associated with Old Pulteney still present after five decades of maturation.\n\nThe 50 Year Old is presented in a crystal decanter incorporating several references to the distillery. Its neck takes its shape from Pulteney’s distinctive flat-topped still, while an etched wave pattern at the base references its coastal location in Wick. Rose-gold detailing and a case inspired by weathered driftwood complete the presentation.","brand":"Old Pulteney","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62955806261578,"sku":"HED49314","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/Old_Pulteney_50_Year_Old_200th_Anniversary_Release.png?v=1787844218","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/old-pulteney-50-year-old-200th-anniversary-release","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
