Established in the port of Wick in 1826, this fine single malt is steeped in seafaring history. Back then, the windswept distillery was only accessible by sea and, as one og the busiest herring ports in the world, many of the distillery workers ere also hardy fishermen.
Today, Old Pulteney Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is created using the same traditional methods of the 1800´s. The copper wash still, in particular, is a source of fascination to visitors due the absence of a "swan neck". Legendhas it that, when the still was delivered, it was too tall for the still house and the manager simply decided to cut the top roof off! This shap, known as a " smuggler´s kettle", contributes to the distinctive style of the whisky. It has also influenced the unique shape of the bottle.
