Cadenhead's Single Cask Old Pulteney 24 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Old Pulteney is very rarely found as an independent bottling, let alone at cask strength. This release was distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2015 after maturation in an x Bourbon barrel.

In Cadenhead's words, "Some white pepper; vanilla; a touch of lime zest and then grapes build as well as lemon notes. Soft and salty." 198 bottles only. 53.7% Alc./Vol.

Established in 1826 in Wick, Pulteney Distillery is the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. In its early days, the distillery was only accessible by sea. The barley was brought in by boat, the whisky shipped out and many of the distillery workers were also employed as fishermen. Sadly the herring fishing industry is no longer part of daily life in Wick but Pulteney Distillery continues to operate. The heritage of Wick is strongly portrayed in the presentation of Old Pulteney in its distinctive still shaped bottle, screen printed with a traditional Wick herring drifter (such boats were used to catch herring at the beginning of the 19th century).
