Old Pulteney 12 Year Old

Old Pulteney 12 Year Old (1997–2005)

This Old Pulteney 12 Year Old is a discontinued Highland single malt from the distillery's official bottlings between 1997 and 2005. This expression captures the maritime character that defines Pulteney’s coastal style—salty, slightly briny, and refreshingly crisp. 

Bottled at 40% ABV.

Old Pulteney, produced in Wick, has long been celebrated as the "Maritime Malt," with its distinctive stills and historic seafaring heritage. While newer versions of the 12-year-old are still available, this early bottling represents a piece of Old Pulteney’s more traditional profile before the brand evolved in later releases. Increasingly rare, it is a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Nose: Fresh sea air, green apples, and malty sweetness.

Palate: Crisp orchard fruits, salted caramel, and a hint of brine.

Finish: Medium length with lingering citrus and gentle spice.
