Nose: Rich chocolate and sweet dried fruit with candied orange, green apple, plum preserve and creamy vanilla. Spiced cedar, floral notes, polished oak, leather and a gentle maritime breeze add depth.

Palate: Dry and refined, with coastal salinity and a subtle peppery edge. Toffee apple, citrus oil, cardamom and clove unfold alongside polished oak, vanilla, tobacco and rich chocolate.

Finish: Exceptionally long and elegant, beginning dry and maritime before revealing lingering vanilla sweetness, tropical fruit, gentle spice and a refined coastal character.

Distillery Information

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.
