Old Malt Cask Pulteney 20 Year
$339.99
This 2002 vintage Pulteney (only the distillery can add the pre-fix "old") was matured 20 years in a Refill ex-Boubon Barrel before bottling at 50%. We see so few independent bottlings of Pulteney, and this one sounds like it is right up our alley... a twenty-something from a refill cask!
Old Pulteney 15 Year
$113.99
This bottle was featured on Day 21 of our 2023 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can read the post on it here.
Part of the new Old Pulteney range released late in 2018, the 15-year-old is matured in both Ex-Bourbon & Ex-Sherry and is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Matured for 15 years, this is our most balanced and smooth single malt. Balancing two different sides of the flavour spectrum, this single malt marries these perfectly, whilst also reflecting our coastal home and its unwavering influence.
On one hand, this is an intense single malt, yet at the same time, it is truly balanced.
Spice and sweetness unite in this naturally rich amber whisky to celebrate rich flavours, yet lighter, more refreshing coastal notes show another side of this single malt."
Old Pulteney 12 Year
$67.99
The Old Pulteney 12 was featured on Day 18 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
This is the flagship bottling of the Old Pulteney range of Single Malts. it is matured in ex-Bourbon casks. 40%
Producer Description: "Matured wholly in air-dried, hand-selected ex-bourbon casks, the 'unashamedly excellent' Old Pulteney 12-years-old is the definitive expression in the Old Pulteney family."
Old Pulteney 18 Year
$159.99
The new 18 Year replaces the now-discontinued 21 Year. Matured in a mix of Ex-Bourbon and Ex-Sherry, the whisky is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Matured for 18 years, this is indulgent and spicy thanks to the casks selected for maturation. Taking its character and colour entirely from the casks within which it has been nurtured, this is a deeply warming whisky. The indulgence extends through this single malt with chocolate and spice defining the character but allowing for the influence of more vibrant zesty flavours."
Old Pulteney Pineau des Charantes
$139.99
Part of what Old Pulteney calls The Coastal Series, this whisky started its life in American Oak casks before a period of finishing in ex-Pineau des Charantes casks. Pineau des Charantes is a fortified wine made by blending Cognac with fresh grape juice or lightly fermented grape must.
The Old Pulteney Pineau des Charantes is bottled at 46%.
Producer Description
"Each cask in our Coastal Series breathes sea air, leaving traces of its own distinctive maritime location. Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes is created by maturing our spirit by the Caithness Coast in American oak casks, then transferring them to ex-Pineau des Charentes casks, handcrafted using French oak. The result is a sweet, rich single malt that celebrates a shared coastal connection – bursting with flavours of dried fruits and a subtle saltiness that’s shaped by the sea."

Old Pulteney 25 Year
$569.99
Bottled at 46% after maturing in Ex-Bourbon and finishing in Ex-Sherry. Lovely with lots of layers.
Producer Description
"For a quarter of a century, casks of this rare expression of Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky breathed the invigorating sea air of the Caithness coast. Sheltered from a fast-changing world by the darkened calm of a distillery warehouse, the spirit mellowed at its own steady pace, echoing the reassuring rhythm of its hometown port. Aged firstly in American oak, its spicy sweetness was later granted depth and colour by casks of Spanish oak. Elegant and charismatic, this wonderful whisky embodies both Wick’s spirit of endurance and Pulteney Distillery’s devotion to its craft."
Old Pulteney Huddart
$89.99
The most curious whisky in the distillery's new core range, Huddart is bottled at 46% after finishing in casks which previously matured heavily peated single malts.
Producer's Description
"A distinctively smoky take on Old Pulteney celebrating our birthplace. Richly warming, this single malt embraces a mellow smoky character, whilst very much Old Pulteney at its heart. The combination of influence from the salt-infused sea air and the peat smoke make for a whisky with real character, depth and identity. With a richness extending into its rich gold colour, this single malt offers much in terms of complexity and flavour while subtly reminding us of the place where Old Pulteney began."
