The Whisky
Sail into the essence of the sea with Old Pulteney Harbour, a vibrant and approachable single malt that captures the character of its coastal home. Named after the historic harbour in Wick, this whisky is matured exclusively in a selection of hand selected American oak ex-bourbon casks. The result is a wonderfully bright and fragrant dram, brimming with creamy vanilla, fresh citrus, and the distillery’s signature mellow sea brine. A perfect choice for those beginning their whisky journey or seeking a distinctive, maritime-influenced daily sipper.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Bright and fragrant, opening with creamy notes of vanilla and coconut, followed by rich citrus notes of marmalade, lemon drizzle cake, and tangerines. A spicy undertone of fresh oak adds depth.
Palate: Sweet and smooth on the palate. Flavours of juicy raisins, tropical fruits, and sweet sultanas are perfectly balanced by darker notes of hot toffee and a subtle spicy warmth from the oak.
Finish: The finish is of medium length, growing with rich fruit and spice before concluding with Old Pulteney’s signature mellow sea brine and a touch of salt.
The Distillery
Founded in 1826 by James Henderson at the height of Wick’s celebrated herring boom, the Pulteney Distillery is one of the most northerly on the British mainland. At a time when road links to the town were yet to be established, the distillery was dependent on the sea for its supply of barley and for the shipping out of its malt whisky. Wick became known for the barrels of silver (herring) and gold (whisky) which left the port in vast numbers. The distillery itself has an absorbing history, with its unique stills defying convention to this day. The wash still, in particular, is a source of fascination to visitors due to the absence of a ‘swan neck’. Legend has it that when the still was delivered it was too tall for the still house and the manager simply decided to cut the top off! The Old Pulteney bottle now incorporates a bulbous neck to reflect the shape of the stills.
