Pulteney 16 Years Old

ABV: 54.6% 70 cL

Founded in 1826, Pulteney Distillery is known for distinctive, coastal Scotch characterized by a signature briny, sea-salt tang.

This 16 year old single malt was finished in a Pinot Noir cask for 6 years creating a balanced combination of strawberry jam, sweet red fruits and savoury coastal character, with maritime brine and warming spice.

Bottled by Whisky Craft at natural cask strength, natural colour and no chill filtration. Limited to 256 bottles.

Nose

Strawberry jam on toast, with a lovely mix of sweet red fruit and savoury depth. Salted meat comes through underneath, followed by a touch of brine and coastal freshness.

Palate

Sweetness arrives first, quickly followed by an immediate fiery heat. The coastal character is present, bringing salt, spice and a firm maritime edge alongside the Pinot Noir fruit.

Finish

The fire continues across the palate, before settling into a softer sweetness. Warming, coastal and fruit-led, with a sweet final impression.

Old Pulteney Distillery, founded in 1826 in the coastal town of Wick in Caithness, is one of Scotland’s most northerly mainland distilleries and is famously known as “The Maritime Malt” for its strong connection to the North Sea. Historically accessible only by sea, the distillery grew alongside Wick’s herring industry, with whisky and supplies transported by boat. Its spirit is shaped by distinctive stills with large boil balls, traditional worm tub condensers, and maturation in a cool, salty coastal climate, which together contribute to a character that is lightly briny, sweet, malty, and gently fruity. Now owned by Inver House Distillers, Old Pulteney is celebrated for producing elegant single malts that balance maritime freshness with honeyed richness and subtle spice.
