Old Pulteney

SnapShot: Whiskyfabric Whirlwind 2

This series of SnapShot posts derives from whisky exchanges with various folks who are part of what is colloquially known as the Whiskyfabric, a term encompassing the online community of whisky writers, creators, reviewers and enthusiasts on social media. Over the past couple of years, we have exchanged whiskies via mail with a number of these fine people and collected the tastings in a series of posts based on some loose collective logic. This post contains various whiskies from around the world, predominantly Canada, France and Italy. Ever wonder what it’d be like to sit down to taste with us in the moment, with all our bias and palate preferences at the ready?

Old Pulteney is called the “Maritime Malt” and lies in the town of Wick, the northernmost distillery on the mainland of Scotland. Founded in 1826, the distillery was remote enough early on to rely on the sea for the movement of its whisky. Named after the local founder of the Pulteneytown area of Wick, Sir William Pulteney, The distillery closed in 1930 for around 20 years but has been in production ever since, often with a revolving selection of award-winning single malts. The popular 21 year expression was discontinued recently and a new core range was introduced. This Old Pulteney 13 Year offering is a single cask selection made by Ace Spirits.
