The history of Old Pulteney
The Pulteney Distillery is located in Wick on the northern tip of Scotland and was founded in 1826 by James Henderson. The distillery is the northernmost on the Scottish mainland and is called simply Pulteney, while it calls its whisky Old Pulteney. The adjective is not intended to refer to the whisky's great age, but rather to the fact that it matures particularly quickly. For a long time, Old Pulteney whiskies were only available from independent bottlers. Since 1997, however, it has also been available in distillery bottlings and since around 2008 Old Pulteney has experienced a significant upswing and is very popular with enthusiasts. Because of its sherry flavor and its slightly salty and dry taste, Old Pulteney is often referred to as the "Manzanilla of the North."
The production of Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 Years
The water used to produce Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 Years comes from the nearby Loch of Yarrows and is relatively peaty. However, the malt for Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky 12 Years is not peated, which is why the whisky only has a subtle peat note. The distillery's six cast-iron fermentation tanks (wash backs) each hold 24,000 liters and are lined with stainless steel. After the mash has fermented, it is first distilled in a wash still and then in a 17,300 liter spirit still. The resulting alcohol vapors are passed through a T-shaped, slightly sloping pipe (lyne arm) into a stainless steel condenser (worm tub), which is rarely found in this form these days. After condensation, the fresh distillate is filled into barrels made of the best oak wood to mature in them for over 12 years.
