Description
Founded in 1826 by James Henderson, the Pulteney distillery, named after the then newly established district of Pulteneytown in Wick, is one of the most northerly distilleries in Scotland. Its unique location, accessible only by sea, shaped its history: barley arrived by ship and whisky left the distillery at the hands of the workers, who were also herring fishermen.
A major modernization took place in 1958 under J&G Stodart Ltd, with the old floor maltings giving way to today's visitor center. After various company takeovers, the distillery finally ended up with Inver House Distillers, who took it over in 1995. A new era began with the launch of Old Pulteney 12 Years Old in 1997.
Today, far removed from its past as a herring fishing port, the Pulteney distillery remains a proud part of Wick. Under the direction of Malcolm Waring, the dedicated team produces around 900,000 liters of single malt Scotch whisky every year.
The 12-year-old Old Pulteney, matured entirely in air-dried, hand-selected ex-bourbon casks, is the definitive expression in the Old Pulteney family.
