Old Pulteney 12 years
Matured wholly in air-dried, hand-selected ex-bourbon casks, the 'unashamedly excellent' Old Pulteney 12-years-old is the definitive expression in the Old Pulteney family.
Traditionally crafted using techniques that other distillers have long abandoned, this winner of numerous gold medals at the most prestigious international competitions is a high water-mark of quality spirits.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Deep amber, red golden (with a slight pink hue) sparkling with a copper glow.
Aroma: Medium to high intensity with a briny hint of sea air.
Taste: Dry, medium bodied and smooth, redolent of honey and cream, faintly salty with a slight spicy note and a sweet long-lasting finish.
Pulteney Distillery
Pulteney Distillery is located in the historic coastal town of Wick, on the north-east coast of Scotland. Founded in 1826 by James Henderson, the distillery plays an important role in the local community and the region's maritime traditions. Its proximity to the sea strongly influences the character of the whiskies produced here.
A unique feature of Pulteney Distillery is the use of water from the nearby Loch Hempriggs, which contributes to the purity and flavour profile of their whiskies. Pulteney whiskies are known for their maritime character, with notes of sea salt, spiciness and a subtle smokiness. The distillery uses traditional copper pot stills, whose unique shape contributes to the whisky's complex and full-bodied flavour.
The whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks, which ensures a balanced and rich flavour. This combination of historic traditions, a maritime location and high-quality whiskies makes Pulteney a respected name in the world of Scotch single malt whisky.
