Distilled and matured by the sea, the liquid in Old Pulteney casks is cocooned by salty air swept ashore on Arctic winds. Old Pulteney 12 Year Old is matured in fine oak, hand-selected ex-bourbon casks, gently absorbing the distinctive sea air. Lively, with a delicate mineral-salted spiciness. A singular, evocative spirit - truly The Maritime Malt. As the man behind the town's 19th Century fishing boom, Sir William Pulteney put Wick, Caithness on the map as Europe's herring capital. Since 1826, Pulteney Distillery has endured everything nature and man can throw at it, including 25 years of prohibition. It is inseparable from the spirit of the harbour town it calls home, which is why it bears the moniker; The Maritime Malt. Tasting Note: Amber gold and copper colour. Intense waves of fresh brine, toffee and salty sea air on the nose. Honey, vanilla and spicy fruit across the palate in a faintly salty, long lasting finish.
