Old Pulteney 2006 Vintage Traveller’s Exclusive Single Malt Scotch Whisky
A Maritime Single Malt Shaped by Sea and Time
Old Pulteney 2006 Vintage Traveller’s Exclusive is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky that captures the true spirit of Scotland’s northern coast. Distilled and matured in the historic harbour town of Wick, this whisky reflects generations of resilience, craftsmanship, and maritime influence. Since 1826, Pulteney Distillery has stood against fierce coastal weather, Arctic winds, and changing times. As a result, every bottle carries an unmistakable sense of place and heritage. Known worldwide as “The Maritime Malt,” Old Pulteney remains deeply connected to the sea that surrounds it.
Matured by the Sea in First-Fill Bourbon Casks
This 2006 vintage was matured in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon casks, positioned close to the shoreline. Consequently, the whisky gently absorbs the salty sea air during its long coastal maturation. The oak influence adds structure and warmth, while the maritime climate enhances freshness and balance. In the glass, it shows a polished copper colour that immediately signals depth and maturity. From the first pour, it promises both elegance and energy.
Aromatic Depth and Lively Palate
On the nose, Old Pulteney 2006 opens with elegant notes of spicy vanilla and melting toffee. Soon after, hints of citrus zest and coastal freshness emerge. As the whisky develops, layers of coconut, green apple, and soft oak come forward. On the palate, it feels vibrant and textured, offering a harmonious blend of sweetness and gentle spice. Flavours build gradually, leading to a lively, fizzing finish of caramel and freshly ground spices that lingers with impressive clarity.
Inspired by Wick’s Legendary Fishing Heritage
During the 19th century, Wick was the herring capital of Europe, welcoming over 1,000 fishing boats each year. Those hardworking seafarers returned from weeks at sea and were rewarded with casks of whisky that became known as “liquid gold.” Old Pulteney honours this tradition by crafting whiskies that reflect both endurance and reward. This 2006 vintage is a tribute to that golden era, combining history with refined modern whisky-making.
