"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

Golden honey with warm amber hues, a sunlit, inviting glow.

Nose

Bright citrus opens the nose, balanced by vanilla custard and a delicate banana note. A whisper of candle wax lends weight, while nutty honey undertones hint at the richness to come.

Palate

Bright citrus leads, threaded with vanilla custard and a touch of banana, with a whisper of candle wax that adds weight. Nutty honey coats the palate in a creamy, mouthwatering texture, finishing with a signature salty tang.

Finish

A signature salty tang lingers on the finish, softly balancing nutty honey notes with a creamy, mouth-watering fade.

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.
