Old Pulteney 12 Year Old

Old Pulteney 12 Year Old is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky from Wick on Scotland’s far north coast, recognised for its coastal “Maritime Malt” character. This 12 year old expression is matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl format, offering citrus, honey, vanilla cream and sea-salt notes in a classic Old Pulteney style.

Old Pulteney 12 Year Old is matured for twelve years in hand-selected American oak ex-bourbon casks on Scotland’s far north coast. The official Old Pulteney page identifies ex-bourbon cask maturation and highlights the distillery’s sea-influenced Wick setting, which supports the whisky’s bright citrus, honey, vanilla cream and sea-salt profile.

In the glass, it shows a deep amber colour with a slight pink hue. The aroma is dry and maritime, carrying a briny suggestion of sea air. On the palate, citrus zest and honey sit over creamy vanilla, with a smooth, faintly salty coastal edge. The finish is sweet, lively, long and unmistakably coastal.

Old Pulteney 12 Year Old suits buyers looking for an approachable Highland single malt with a coastal profile rather than heavy smoke or sherry-led richness. Serve it neat to appreciate the maritime character, or add a few drops of water if preferred. Its recognised age statement and classic style also make it suitable for whisky gifting.
