Old Pulteney // Highlands, Scotland
Pulteney Distillery is located in the far north of the Scottish mainland in a town called Wick, an area rich in maritime history, once known for its herring fisheries. The distillery has long been known as The Maritime Malt due to the proximity of its dunnage warehouses to the North Sea.

Tasting Notes
"Enticing nose. Seems lively with aromas of honey and toasted cereal standing out along with a subtle briny note. Gentle vanilla notes hover around the edges. Its medium light body makes it easy to drink. The palate displays a tangy profile with a low spice level and a medium malt character. A bit bittersweet on the finish with a hint of coffee and gentle smoke. A great value for what the dram delivers and a great start to the evening. "
