Old Pulteney 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch

Old Pulteney distillery is in the fishing town of Wick on the northern coast of the Scottish Highlands, one of the most northerly mainland distilleries in Scotland. It was founded in 1826 and is known as the Maritime Malt, with a coastal, briny character.

The 12 Year Old is the core expression, aged in American oak ex-bourbon casks and Spanish oak ex-sherry casks. The distillery has a wash still with a cut-off top, a modification made to fit the still into the original building.

The whisky balances honeyed sweetness with coastal salinity, with orchard fruits and vanilla from the bourbon casks.
