Coastal Character Inspired by the Sea
Distilled and matured beside the North Sea, Old Pulteney 12 Year Old benefits from a unique coastal influence that defines its character. The traditional warehouses allow fresh sea air to flow around the casks year after year. As a result, the whisky develops subtle saline notes alongside a refreshing maritime edge. This coastal maturation brings a sense of place to every sip, evoking sea spray, harbour air, and the raw beauty of the Scottish shoreline.
Carefully Selected Ex-Bourbon Casks
The whisky is matured exclusively in American ex-bourbon casks that have been carefully hand selected and air dried. These casks add layers of sweetness and structure while allowing the distillery character to shine. Notes of vanilla, honey, and gentle oak balance the natural briny tones. This thoughtful cask selection ensures consistency, richness, and a smooth mouthfeel that defines Old Pulteney’s house style.
