Old Pulteney 12 YO Single Malt Scotch

Sir William Pulteney put Wick on the map as the man behind the town’s 19th Century fishing boom but today the Pulteney name is better known for its unique single malt whisky. Distilled and matured by the sea, the liquid in their casks is cocooned by salty air swept ashore on Arctic winds. During Wick’s heyday as Europe’s herring capital, the vessels, adorned with their generous, sparkly hauls of silver darlings, also carried fisherman in their droves. Dog-tired after weeks of high seas hardship, the courageous seafarers who landed silver by the barrel were rewarded with liquid gold by the cask. Since 1826, Pulteney Distillery has endured everything nature and man could throw at it, including 25 years of prohibition. Old Pulteney is inseparable from the spirit of the harbour town it calls home, which is why it will always be The Maritime Malt. OLD
