The Old Pulteney distillery in Wick is the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. It is a windswept location, where the uncompromising landscape of the Highlands meets the North Sea, and the waves crash against the granite walls of the harbour. The extreme location and unique stills have resulted in a distinctive flavour, bursting with the power and subtlety of the sea. Old Pulteney is the embodiment of history, people and place: It is the Genuine Maritime Malt.
Color: Deep amber with a slight pink hue. Nose: Medium to high intensity, dry with a hint of sea air.
Palate: Dry, medium bodied and smooth with a clean finish: faintly salty with a slight sherry note.
