"Intense citrus leads the way, with vanilla custard close behind. A touch of banana adds to the complexity, while a hint of candle wax puts weight behind it. Nutty, honey flavours and a mouthwatering creamy texture on the palate. A signature salty tang on the finish."

90.5 points Jim Murray's Whisky Bible

"A dramatic whisky which, with further care, could get even closer to the truth of this distillery."

Tasting Notes

Colour

Warm golden amber with honeyed undertones and a soft copper-bronze glow.

Nose

Intense citrus leads the nose, with vanilla custard close behind. A touch of banana adds complexity, while a hint of candle wax lends weight and a waxy, luxurious edge.

Palate

Intense citrus leads, with vanilla custard close behind and a subtle banana note. A touch of candle wax adds weight, while nutty, honey flavours deepen a mouthwatering, creamy texture. The finish carries a signature salty tang.

Finish

Long, maritime and refined, the finish threads in a signature sea-salt tang that lingers with bright citrus zest. Vanilla custard and honey drift in a creamy echo, with hints of banana and a whisper of wax, fading to a polished coastal farewell.

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.
