Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a honeyed, sunlit glow and subtle coppery highlights

Nose

Sea-salted vanilla and honeyed toffee unfold, with caramel and a touch of spice. A delicate whisper of peat smoke lingers, lifted by warm bourbon oak and a bright coastal brine that hints at the whisky’s Islay finish.

Palate

Smoky, BBQ-tinged and coastally salted, this 26-year-old reveals sweet spice and salty toffee on the palate. The finish lingers with a refined brine and a touch of oak.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with coastal salt and BBQ-charred peat. Sweet spice and salted toffee endure, carried by vanilla-tinged oak, leaving a warm maritime echo that slowly fades.

Old Pulteney
(Old PULT-nee) Old Pulteney was founded in 1826 by James Henderson in Wick, during the height of the town’s herring boom, and for a time it was the most northerly distillery on mainland Scotland. Its history includes a long silent period after Wick voted to go dry under the Temperance Act: the distillery closed in 1930, prohibition in the town ended in 1947, and production eventually resumed in 1951. Later milestones include a major refurbishment in 1958, Inver House Distillers taking ownership in 1995, and the release of the now-iconic Old Pulteney 12 Year Old in 1997.
