Old Pulteney

Founded in 1826 in the coastal town of Wick, Old Pulteney is one of Scotland’s most iconic and northerly distilleries. Known as "The Maritime Malt," its whisky is shaped by the wild sea air and coastal climate of the North Sea. Originally accessible only by boat, the distillery grew alongside the herring fishing industry, and this rich maritime heritage lives on in every bottle. The whiskies, aged in oak casks near the sea, reveal subtle salty notes, a briny depth, and a full-bodied character. Today, Old Pulteney remains a proud symbol of tradition, craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of the Highlands.
