Old Pulteney 18 Year Old
A Maritime Malt with real depth
Old Pulteney 18 Year Old shows what long maturation by the sea can do. Rich sherry-cask fruit and sweetness meet a subtle salty edge, giving a whisky that is complex but never heavy. It suits both seasoned malt drinkers and anyone ready to try an older, more refined single malt.
About Old Pulteney
Old Pulteney is distilled in Wick, on the north-east coast of Caithness, at one of the most northerly distilleries on the Scottish mainland. The sea air and cool coastal climate are said to shape the whisky's character, and the brand's maritime identity runs through its whole range. The 18 Year Old is one of the most admired expressions in the line-up.
