Old Pulteney Huddart Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Old Pulteney Huddart Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinctive expression that brings together maritime character and gentle peat smoke. Inspired by the rugged coastal town of Wick in the Scottish Highlands, this whisky celebrates the birthplace of Old Pulteney with depth, warmth, and unmistakable identity. From the very first sip, it delivers a balanced combination of coastal freshness and subtle smokiness, making it a compelling choice for both seasoned whisky lovers and curious explorers.
A Maritime Whisky with a Smoky Edge
Defined by its coastal environment, Old Pulteney has always reflected the sea. With Huddart, that maritime DNA remains central, yet it gains an added smoky dimension. Salt-infused sea air shapes the spirit during maturation, while peat influence introduces a mellow, warming smoke. As a result, the whisky feels both familiar and refreshingly different. It stays true to Old Pulteney’s house style while offering greater complexity and contrast.
Maturation That Builds Depth and Balance
Old Pulteney Huddart is matured exclusively in American oak barrels, which play a crucial role in its flavour development. Initially, the whisky rests in second-fill ex-bourbon barrels, allowing creamy vanilla and soft spice to emerge. It then undergoes further maturation in ex-peated whisky barrels. This careful process adds a light smoky layer without overpowering the spirit. Consequently, the peat remains refined, approachable, and perfectly integrated.
Appearance, Aroma, and Taste
In the glass, Old Pulteney Huddart displays a rich gold colour that hints at its warming nature. On the nose, it opens with mellow wood smoke, honey, and oily leather. Over time, crisp green apple appears, followed by creamy vanilla and subtle burnt toffee. These evolving aromas invite patience and reward attention.
On the palate, freshly ground spices and soft vanilla balance the smoke and gentle peat fire. Sweet and salty coastal flavours emerge together, recalling salted caramel and sea spray. The mouthfeel feels rich and warming, while the finish lingers with smoky sweetness and maritime freshness.
A Celebration of Origin and Craft
Huddart is more than a smoky variation; it is a celebration of where Old Pulteney began. It captures the spirit of Wick and the surrounding coastline in every drop. Therefore, it suits whisky drinkers who appreciate character, place, and thoughtful craftsmanship.
