Product description

Product description
The 12-year-old Old Pulteney is the flagship and 'core flavour' of the distillery's range, matured entirely in bourbon casks. Pulteney is one of the northernmost distilleries on the Scottish mainland and is based in the remote village of Wick. James Henderson founded the distillery in 1826 to quench the thirst of the labourers and fishermen who did their work in the former 'herring capital'. In 2018, the entire range was relaunched.

The Distillery: Pulteney

For a long time Pulteney could be called the most northern distillery on the Scottish mainland. When Wolfburn Distillery in Thurso opened in 2013 they took over this title, but Pulteney hasn’t lost its attraction on Whisky lovers. The coastal style of the Old Pulteney Whisky (as the Whiskies from Pulteney are called) is a very unique one and the releases use to be very well judged by the Whisky experts. read more

    Aroma: Trocken, grasige Noten mischen sich mit Toffee und Vanillekipferl. Dahinter versteckt sich etwas Hafergebäck und Salzkaramell.

    Geschmack:
    Mild, sanft und geschmeidig. Süße Honignoten und geschlagene Sahne entwickeln sich zu reifen und fruchtigen Nuancen mit frischen Gewürzen.
    Abgang:
    Lebhaft und mit einer leichten Salznote in anhaltenden Abgang.
