Description
An official Old Pulteney single malt matured to 11 year old, from 2007, drawn from cask 1466 and bottled at 63.3%. Built in 1826 in the herring port of Wick on the Caithness coast, Pulteney is the maritime malt of the far north. Water comes from Loch Hempriggs, carried by a lade Thomas Telford laid in 1807.
Distilled in Pulteney's distinctively shaped copper stills on soft Loch Hempriggs water, the make was then aged beside the North Sea for that maritime edge. An Oloroso butt held it, sherry meeting the sea salt. At a youthful age the fruit is lively and the sea salt clear. Refill oak holds back its sweetness, letting the distillery's coastal character lead. Wick built its fortune on herring and whisky, the silver and the gold of the north. Everything once moved by sea here, barley in and casks out across the North Sea.
At 63.3%, undiluted, it is bold and waxy. The Oloroso brings salted dried fruit, fig and walnut, and the refill oak lending a light vanilla, with honeyed wax and a saline lift. The texture is oily and coating, the salt threaded through. The finish runs oily, saline and warm. This is a coastal Highland malt from the edge of the country.
