Old Pulteney Whisky

In Wick, Scotland's northernmost mainland town, Old Pulteney has been distilling since 1826, with the sea so close that the distillery calls itself 'the Maritime Malt'. The town was once Europe's busiest herring port, and the whisky's salty, almost briny character still carries the mark of that maritime heritage. Under Inver House Distillers, Old Pulteney has become a cult favourite among those seeking something other than classic Speyside sweetness.

    Old Pulteney Harbour Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 40%

    Old Pulteney Harbour is a single malt whisky inspired by the distillery's rich maritime heritage, originating from Wick in the northeast of Scotland. This whisky is matured in a combination of various American oak casks that previously contained bourbon. This imparts a unique complexity and depth that is characteristic of the Old Pulteney range.

    When you open a bottle of Old Pulteney Harbour, you are greeted by an inviting aroma that blends sweet and fresh notes of vanilla and coconut, quickly followed by fruity citrus tones, especially mandarins, and a light marmalade-like sweetness. There is also a subtle spicy undertone of fresh oak, which adds an extra dimension to the scent. The fragrance clearly reflects the whisky's harbor origins and the fresh, salty sea breezes from the Scottish coast.

    On the palate, Old Pulteney Harbour presents a well-balanced flavor profile, where sweet fruits such as raisins and tropical notes meet rich caramel flavors. This is complemented by hints of tobacco and spicy nuances that give depth to the whisky's taste. At the end of the tasting experience, the classic salty character for which Old Pulteney is known emerges. This lightly salted and slightly smoky finish helps define the whisky and provides an unforgettable, long-lasting aftertaste.

About Old Pulteney Whisky

Old Pulteney is a distillery in Wick, Scotland's northernmost mainland town, known as 'the Maritime Malt'. For a newcomer, it's a salty, fresh, characterful style, distinctly different from most Speyside malts; for the connoisseur, Old Pulteney's close ties to the town's herring fishing history are part of the whisky's DNA - sea spray and salt air aren't just marketing but a real factor in how the harbourside warehouses affect the casks.

History & Background

The distillery was founded in 1826 in the harbor town of Wick, which at the time was one of Europe's busiest herring fishing ports. The distillery's story is closely tied to the town's maritime and fishing heritage.

Production & Style

Old Pulteney is distilled using unusually shaped pot stills with a flat top, a design said to have arisen by accident but which is today the distillery's signature feature.
