The Pulteney Distillery is a historic single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in the coastal town of Wick, in the far north of Scotland. Established in 1826, the Pulteney Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and is renowned for its exceptional single malt whiskies.
At the heart of Pulteney's success is its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The distillery uses only the finest locally sourced ingredients, including water from the nearby River Wick and the finest Scottish barley, to create its whiskies. The distillation process is carried out in traditional copper pot stills, which are heated over open flames, giving the spirits a rich, smooth flavor profile that is unique to Pulteney.
The Pulteney's whiskies are then matured in oak casks for a minimum of ten years, allowing them to develop their complex and sophisticated flavor profiles. The distillery uses a variety of casks, including American oak, European oak, and sherry casks, to impart different flavors and aromas to the whiskies.
The Pulteney Distillery is also known for its distinctive location, situated on the coast of the North Sea, surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Scottish Highlands. This unique location provides a perfect backdrop for visitors to learn about the art of Scottish whisky production and to taste some of the finest single malt whiskies in the world.
