Old Pulteney 15 Years Old
Old Pulteney 15 Year Old is a Northern Highland coastal single malt from the most northerly mainland distillery in Scotland — Pulteney Distillery in Wick, Caithness — presenting the distillery's characteristic maritime, honeyed character at 15 years with noticeably more complexity than the core 12-year expression.
Old Pulteney is known as 'the Maritime Malt' — the Wick distillery's proximity to the sea and its distinctive, unorthodox still shapes (with a flat top rather than a traditional neck on the wash still) contribute to a spirit with a characteristic sea air, brine, and coastal sweetness. At 15 years, the American oak ex-bourbon maturation has produced a full integration of vanilla and honey alongside the distillery's maritime signature. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Old Pulteney called the Maritime Malt?
The Wick distillery is situated near the sea on Scotland's northern coast, and the coastal environment — salt air, Atlantic climate, and the water source — contributes the characteristic brine and sea air notes that define Old Pulteney's house style.
How does the 15 Year compare to the Old Pulteney 12 Year?
Three additional years of American oak maturation produces more integrated vanilla and honey character, a rounder and more complex palate, and a longer finish than the 12-year. The maritime coastal character is present in both but more fully developed in the 15.
