Description
This Old Pulteney, an official release, and bottled at 46%. Pulteney was founded in 1826 in Pulteneytown on Scotland's far northern shore, and it remains one of the most northerly distilleries on the mainland. It is one of the last urban distilleries, set among the streets of Pulteneytown.
The spirit was drawn off the flat topped wash still and boil ball spirit still that give the make its body, and matured by the shore, where sea air works into the wood. A refill American oak cask held it, keeping the maritime malt to the fore. Carrying no age, it leans on a settled, waxy sweetness and a saline lift. The cool, damp northern climate slows maturation, letting the spirit take wood gently over many years. Closed when Wick went dry in 1930, the distillery did not run again until 1951. Sea air works into the warehouses, a saline thread that marks the house style. For decades this was the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland.
At an approachable 46% it is balanced. A coastal salinity meet soft vanilla from the cask. Soft brine and orchard fruit sit behind the sweetness. It closes long, salty and honeyed. This is Old Pulteney's classic maritime character.
