Possibly one of the most awarded 12 Year Old expressions on the Single Malt market. Old Pulteney picked up a Silver Medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2022, a Silver Medal and a score of 92 points at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2021, and a Gold Medal at the Scotch Whisky Masters 2019 – and those are just a few in the long precession of praise.
Once famed for its barrels of herring, Wick is now renowned for its casks of award-winning single malt. And there’s no whisky on the planet quite like the “Manzanilla of the North”. The most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland, Old Pulteney is lashed by the salty sea and that maritime influence penetrates deep into the whisky produced there. Their single malt is so good and so distinctive that King Charles has his very own cask – just don’t tell Laphroaig or Ballindalloch.
Aged in fine American oak casks, this is nutty, salty and citrusy. Expect walnuts, brine, honey, dried herbs, wood spices, vanilla fudge, cream and probably one of the most unique and high-quality single of this age.
