Description
This distillery say 'for a quarter of a century, casks of this rare expression of Old Pulteney single malt scotch whisky breathed the invigorating sea air of the Caithness coast. The spirit mellowed at its own steady pace, echoing the reassuring rhythm of its hometown port. Aged firstly in American oak, its spicy sweetness was later granted depth and colour by casks of Spanish oak. Elegant and charismatic, this wonderful whisky embodies both Wick's spirit of endurance and Pulteney Distillery's devotion to the craft.'
