Old Pulteney Navigator Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
Old Pulteney Navigator is a bold and characterful single malt that pays tribute to the distillery’s deep maritime roots.

As a result, this whisky captures the true spirit of adventure that defines Old Pulteney, often known as the “Maritime Malt.”
A Tribute to Maritime Heritage
Crafted in the far north of Scotland, Old Pulteney Navigator reflects the rugged coastal environment of the Pulteney Distillery. The whisky draws inspiration from the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, where everyday people become sailors in pursuit of extraordinary journeys. In the same way, this expression embodies exploration, resilience, and respect for the sea. Every sip tells a story of salt-laced air, rolling waves, and timeless tradition.
Cask Selection and Maturation
Old Pulteney Navigator is matured in a carefully balanced combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. These casks are hand-selected by Distillery Manager Malcolm Waring to ensure depth, richness, and harmony. Consequently, the whisky develops layers of sweetness and spice while maintaining the distillery’s signature coastal character. Bottled at 46% ABV, it delivers a full-bodied experience without chill filtration, preserving its natural texture and flavor.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, Old Pulteney Navigator shows a warm honeycomb color that immediately invites exploration. On the nose, gentle sweetness emerges first, followed by subtle citrus notes. On the palate, the whisky is rich and mouth-filling, with pronounced flavors of honey, cocoa, and ripe orange. These notes evolve smoothly, creating balance and complexity. The finish is long, warming, and lightly spicy, with a faint yet distinctive hint of salty North Sea air that lingers pleasantly.
Perfect for Whisky Explorers
