Celebrating Old Pulteney’s connection to the sea, this delightful single malt is the perfect gateway whisky to your voyage with Old Pulteney

This easy-to-drink Scotch whisky introduces drinkers to the coastal character of The Maritime Malt

Matured in a quartet of hand-selected American oak casks, Old Pulteney Harbour is exclusively available to purchase via Tesco (UK stores and online)

Old Pulteney, The Maritime Malt, has today introduced the newest addition to its portfolio, Old Pulteney Harbour – available to buy exclusively at Tesco stores across the UK and online.

Tradition meets modernity with Old Pulteney Harbour. Whilst still taking on the same careful craftsmanship and process that gives The Maritime Malt its coastal character, the portfolio’s latest addition brings something new and vibrant to the brand’s multi award-winning collection.

Taking its name from the point which joins Old Pulteney’s hometown of Wick to the North Sea, Old Pulteney Harbour celebrates the brand’s connection to the sea. The easy-to-drink single malt introduces whisky drinkers to the character Old Pulteney is renowned for with the warm, welcoming flavours representing the beginnings of a new journey for whisky fans wanting to take a voyage with Old Pulteney.

This approachable whisky is matured by the sea in a quartet of hand-selected fine American oak ex-bourbon casks, each imparting unique flavour profiles and cocooned by the sea air of the remote coastal distillery. Second fill barrels, re-charred barrels, first fill ex-bourbon barrels and refill barrels are married together to create this vibrant whisky.

The bright gold whisky is deliciously fragrant with notes of creamy vanilla and coconut up front, followed by rich citrus of marmalade and tangerines, lemon drizzle cake sweetness and a spicy undertone of fresh oak. With an ABV of 40%, sweet tones of raisins and tropical fruits are perfectly balanced with darker tones of hot toffee and fresh tobacco leaf. The finish grows with rich fruit and spice to eventually turn into Old Pulteney’s signature mellow sea brine.

Malcolm Waring, Distillery Manager at Old Pulteney, said: “We’re very pleased to introduce Old Pulteney Harbour, our most approachable whisky yet. Old Pulteney has always been influenced by its home by the sea on the Caithness Coast,​ and Old Pulteney Harbour beautifully balances that powerful tradition with the smooth vibrancy of this welcoming whisky.”

Old Pulteney Harbour retails at £34 and is available to purchase across the UK exclusively at Tesco.

About Old Pulteney: 

Old Pulteney is the only brand whose story, distillery, and whisky are shaped by the sea itself. The unique combination of brisk sea air and meticulous cask selection makes its flavour unlike other single malt Scotch whiskies. The award-winning core collection, revitalised for the modern market in 2018, includes: Harbour, 12 Years Old, Huddart, 15 Years Old, 18 Years Old, and 25 Years Old.

As the man behind the town’s 19th Century fishing boom, Sir William Pulteney put northerly Scottish coastal town Wick on the map, but today the Pulteney name is better known for its unique, single malt whisky. Distilled and matured by the sea, the award-winning whisky in our casks is cocooned by salty air swept ashore on Arctic winds. Since 1826, Pulteney Distillery has navigated changeable seas and conditions, including 25 years of prohibition. Old Pulteney is inseparable from the spirit of the harbour town it calls home which is why it will always be The Maritime Malt.
