Old Pulteney
Pulteney is the most northerly Scottish single malt whisky distillery on the Scottish mainland. The distillery, built in 1826, is located in the small village of Wick, which was once designed by Thomas Telford and Sir William Pulteney as the ideal fishing port. It was during this opening phase that the town experienced a real herring boom, which was of course perfect for James Henderson, the founder of the distillery, and the sale of his whisky. Shortly afterwards, however, the Wick town council had to impose an alcohol ban and turn the town into a 'dry town' in order to curb the amount of alcohol consumed.
For a long time, whisky from the Pulteney distillery was only available through independent bottlers such as Gordon & MacPhail, which is of course different today. But even today you can find bottlings from Gordon & MacPhail as well as Cadenheads and Duncan Taylor.
The distillery's core range includes a 12-, 15-, 18- and 25-year-old. In addition to these, there are also a few special bottlings with 'special' names, such as "Floatilla", "Duncansby Head" or "Noss Head".
Old Pulteney 16 Year Old Malt Whisky
For an even more intense and, above all, more complex taste, the Pulteney matures in two different types of barrels, followed by a blend of the two barrels. American bourbon barrels and Spanish sherry barrels are used for the maturation period.
Notes of honey, vanilla and a pleasant aroma of smoky oak wood spread on the nose. Nevertheless, you have to give the 16-year-old some time in the glass to fully develop. But if you give it that time, every second of waiting will be worth it.
The taste is initially a little reserved, then a more intense, sharper spiciness follows. Then, just like on the nose, vanilla, honey and oak.
