Old Pulteney
Ever since the distillery doors opened in 1826, and to this day, Old Pulteney's whisky breathes in the sea air, taking on its coastal qualities. The Maritime Malt. For many years Old Pulteney was only available from independent bottlers such as Gordon & MacPhail, but under the ownership of Inver House, distillery bottlings have proliferated, with the best-selling 12-year-old expression. The distillery is equipped with a single pair of highly individual stills, with condensing taking place in a pair of stainless steel worm tubs. Both stills boast large boil balls, and the wash still has a unique, truncated, flat-topped appearance. Approximately 60% of the output of Pulteney distillery is retained for single malt bottling, and of that 60% some 95% is filled into ex-Bourbon casks for maturation in Pulteney’s five on-site warehouses.
