Distillery Background:
Founded in 1826 in the fishing port of Wick, Old Pulteney has earned the nickname “The Maritime Malt” thanks to its distinctive briny, coastal character. Its stills feature an unusual “missing” swan neck, a design quirk that influences the whisky’s weight and texture. The distillery’s windswept location on Scotland’s northern coast ensures every cask matures in an environment steeped in sea air, giving Old Pulteney whiskies their unmistakable maritime signature.
