Founded in 1826 by James Henderson, the Pulteney distillery, named after the then newly established neighbourhood of Pulteneytown in Wick, is one of the most northerly distilleries in Scotland. Its unique location, accessible only by sea, shaped its history: barley arrived by ship and whisky left the distillery at the hands of the workers, who were also herring fishermen.

A major modernisation took place in 1958 under J&G Stodart Ltd, with the old floor maltings giving way to today's visitor centre. After various company takeovers, the distillery finally ended up with Inver House Distillers, who took it over in 1995. A new era began with the launch of Old Pulteney 12 Years Old in 1997.

Today, far removed from its past as a herring fishing harbour, the Pulteney distillery remains a proud part of Wick. Under the management of Malcolm Waring, the dedicated team produces around 900,000 litres of single malt Scotch whisky every year.

The Old Pulteney Coastal series takes its inspiration for the name and the production of the malts from various coastal regions around the world. Depending on the coastal region, the whiskies are given their special finish in the typical casks of that coast. In total, this series consists of 4 whiskies, which are released annually.

The Old Pulteney Coastal Series Pineau des Charantes was inspired by the French coastal region north of Bordeaux. It is matured in Pineau des Charentes casks, which lend this unique whisky its wonderful nuances. It is bottled without chill filtration and without the addition of colouring agents.
