Located on the northern shores of Scotland, Old Pulteney is renowned for its “maritime malt” – the distinct character that comes from aging and distilling their signature Scotch whisky near the Atlantic ocean. This single-barrel is a K&L exclusive, slowly aging for 15 years in ex-bourbon barrels which gives the whiskey a sweet, salty and spicy irresistible character. The old distillery in Wick was founded in 1826 and was once completely unavailable in the town during their decades long localized prohibition era. A popular fishing village, the town was mostly inaccessible unless by boat. Now Pulteney is producing a very classically styled north coast malt which is typified by a subtle salinity. This first fill ex-bourbon barrel was filled at the beginning of 2006 and bottled just before its 16th birthday at full cask strength of 53% abv. Uncolored and not chillfiltred, it’s one of the few distillers still selling single casks directly to K&L, although only a handful of barrels made it stateside in the last year. Considering the quality, we believe this malt is exceptionally undervalued and represents a rarely seen opportunity to enjoy this special distillery in its own label as a single barrel without the addition of any water or other additives. Incidentally, it will absolutely love a drop of water added to the glass, opening both the malty sweetness and the gorgeous maritime character.
