About this product
The Maritime Malt of the Highlands.
Nestled in the northernmost Highlands of Scotland, the seaside town of Wick has been home to Old Pulteney since 1826. Known as the “Maritime Malt,” this whisky captures the rugged spirit of the northern coast, where sea spray, salt-laden winds, and Atlantic breezes shape its character.
Matured for 12 years in carefully selected oak casks, Old Pulteney 12 Year Old offers a perfect balance of coastal freshness and Highland malt richness. Its honeyed sweetness, citrus notes, and gentle maritime saltiness make it instantly approachable, yet layered enough to satisfy the curious palate. Each sip evokes the cool northern air, the crashing waves, and the hardworking seafarers who have called Wick home for centuries. It’s a whisky that carries the story of Scotland’s northern coast in every drop, offering a true taste of place and tradition.
For whisky lovers in Ireland, it’s more than just a dram – it’s a journey to the northern Highlands, where craftsmanship meets the untamed beauty of the sea.
Why we love it:
We love Old Pulteney 12 for its distinctive maritime character and smooth, approachable profile. It’s a whisky that combines heritage and flavour, perfect for those who appreciate something unique yet easy to enjoy.
