Old Pulteney Introduces Old Pulteney Harbour

The Latest Addition to its Multi Award-Winning Portfolio

Hailing from its northerly home in the Scottish Highlands, Old Pulteney Harbour is the new single malt Scotch whisky from Old Pulteney

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.

INTRODUCING

THE MACALLAN HORIZON

We are delighted to announce the launch of The Macallan Horizon, a sophisticated and bold single malt whisky. Building on our established relationship with Bentley Motors, The Macallan Horizon is an expertly crafted single malt whisky presented in a visionary horizontal vessel. It encapsulates the rich heritage of both The Macallan and Bentley Motors and our shared vision for the future.

Challenging the conventions of traditional whisky bottling and showcasing an unrivalled level of creativity, the vessel’s twist motif symbolises our extraordinary journey as we travel to the future.

DISCOVER THE WHISKY

THE WHISKY

The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell sought to capture the essence of a Bentley motorcar through the creation of a sophisticated and bold single malt whisky. ​Kirsteen painstakingly selected six first-fill sherry seasoned oak casks that exuded the right intensity of flavour, texture and natural colour. An extraordinary meeting of The Macallan’s signature style with Bentley’s timeless quality and design, this single malt is a true stimulation of the senses through taste and texture.

“I was specifically looking for resinous polished oak and fresh leather notes, to complement our classic rich dried fruits and warm spice notes. Bringing together the worlds of The Macallan and Bentley.”

THE SHAPE

Designed and created in collaboration with Bentley Motors, The Macallan Horizon’s horizontal vessel defies traditional vertical whisky bottle aesthetics.

We shared some kind words from the whisky writing world last week, and here’s a few more!

 “The dram is so delicious…” 
Joel Harrison, Club Oenologique 
 
“Ultimately it’s delicious, moreish and sweet, with grassy and herbal notes and a thread of smoke”
Rosalind Erskine, The Scotsman 
 
“It’s got a subtle smokiness that adds both complexity and texture…Although it’s youthful, it’s never overly exuberant or flat…In fact, there’s a lot going on here…” 
Kristiane Sherry, whisky writer 
 
“It’s easy going, very moreish, sippable and disappears quickly. It has all the hallmarks of an accessible whisky too – biscuits and key lime pie. What’s not to like?”
Dougie Crystal, Dramface

We’re also delighted to share the tasting notes from the next four forthcoming batches, each provided by our fellow islanders who sat down with us for a dram and a chat earlier this week.
