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.

This Old Pulteney Single Malt Traveller's Exclusive, matured over 16 years, reveals a palette of flavours that reflect the influence of the region. Old Pulteney is not just a whisky, but an ode to its maritime origins, a reflection of the scenic beauty and rawness of Caithness.
