Old Pulteney 12 Years Old

The Martime Malt

All the way in the far North of Scotland in the little towns of Wick and Pulteneytown, and build in 1826, lies the Old Pulteney Distillery.

A famed maritime brand with roots soaked in salt water, brine is dominant in the notes of this northerly house.

If a salty finish doesn't appeal then steer clear of Old Pulteney but, if you're willing to try, you may be surprised at how much you like it. The 12 Year Old is so pronounced that the name was changed to 'Maritime Malt'.

Snappy and dry, ephemeral hints of green apple and light spice present an arresting bouquet from this 200 year old Whisky brand. The Old Pulteney 12 Years Old is a very popular Highland dram, with banana and sweet citrus fruit notes alongside a faint whiff of brine.
