Featured in Ian Buxton's 101 whiskies to try before you die book

Classic full-bodied Old Pulteney with a twist of sweetness as they use some Spanish Oak in the maturation process. The familiar depth and complexity is there, but this time with butterscotch, baked pears and unforgettable finish.

Bottled without chill filtering, this is an outstanding dram.

The 17-year-old predominantly features ex-bourbon maturation, with the addition of spirit that has been wholly matured in Spanish wood ex-sherry casks, predominantly Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso. This adds a subtle depth and complexity to the whisky, making for an outstanding after-dinner drink.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-bronze highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Caramel, biscuit and cake icing lead the nose, blossoming into orchard fruits with a sea-salt breeze. Almond and ginger thread through, with subtle hazelnut and a whisper of powdered chocolate.

Palate

Almond and ginger open the palate, giving way to hazelnut and powdery chocolate with coastal saltiness. Sherry-influenced sweetness threads through butterscotch and baked pear, building to a long, lingering finish.

Finish

A long, sweet finish that lingers with sea-kissed salt, notes of butterscotch and baked pear, and a touch of almond spice. It gradually yields to warm Spanish oak, leaving a soft, memorable afterglow.

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.
