Established in 1826 to satiate the local fishing community’s thirst for the good stuff, Pulteney distillery, in the town of Wick, is home to some unusual stills. Scaled up versions of the kind favoured by smugglers of the era; they sport oversized reflux bulbs that are nearly as big as the still bases. These are combined with purifiers and snaking lyne arms running into worm-tub condensers, resulting in a spirit that is oily and full bodied.
In 1995 the distillery was acquired by Inver House, who properly established “Old Pulteney” as a single malt brand. Since then, the brand has gone from strength to strength, and collected several awards and accolades along the way.
