Nauticalia

Established in 1826, at the town of Wick, Old Pulteney is the most northerly distillery on the mainland, and at that time was only accessible by sea. The ingredients and finished product were shipped in and out by boat, and many of the distillery workers were also fishermen. Much of the original equipment is still used. The spirit matures in specially-selected bourbon or sherry casks, gently absorbing the Northern Scottish sea breeze until the distillery manager decides it is time for bottling.

This 21 year old single malt won the coveted title of World Whisky of the Year in the 2012 edition of Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible (read more in our Captain's Log article). Golden amber in colour, full-bodied with traces of fruit, slightly fragrant with spicy overtones. Dry finish.

70cl bottles, 46% abv. Available only in limited quantities.
