Established in 1826 in Wick, Pulteney is the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. In its early days, it was only accessible by sea. Many of the distillery workers therefore were also employed as fishermen. They mature their whiskies primarily in Bourbon and a small number of Sherry casks. This 15 year old matured in refill bourbon barrels. A faintly smoky single malt release from the independent bottlers, Gordon and Macphail and offers a great introduction to the distillery style.
