Old Pulteney Huddart is a unique twist on the distillery’s signature maritime style, paying tribute to the street where the distillery stands. While most Old Pulteney whiskies lean towards fresh, coastal elegance, Huddart introduces a gentle smokiness through finishing in casks that once held peated whisky. The result is a harmonious balance of sea air and subtle campfire warmth.
