Suggestive smoke and butter crackers characterize the aroma. Well structured, there is plenty of round butteriness, hints of honey, and notes of browned butter toasted grains. The crispy breakfast cereal notes linger long on the palate.

About
The Old Pulteney distillery in Wick is the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. It is a windswept location, where the uncompromising landscape of the Highlands meets the North Sea, and the waves crash against the granite walls of the harbour. The extreme location and unique stills have resulted in a distinctive flavour, bursting with the power and subtlety of the sea. Old Pulteney is the embodiment of history, people and place: It is the Genuine Maritime Malt.
Matured wholly in air-dried, hand-selected ex-bourbon casks, the ’unashamedly excellent’ Old Pulteney 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the definitive expression in the Old Pulteney family. Traditionally crafted using techniques that other distillers have long abandoned, this winner of numerous gold medals at the most prestigious international competitions is a high water-mark of quality spirits.
