OLD PULTENEY LAUNCHES NEW CORE RANGE OF SINGLE MALT WHISKIES

The Wick based Old Pulteney Distillery, has today announced the launch of a new revamped core range of single malt Scotch whiskies.

The new range, is said by the brand to signal the start of an evolution for Old Pulteney, with a renewed vigour around the maritime malt, yet staying true its rich heritage and traditions.

Defined and shaped by its coastal location, Old Pulteney has a highly distinctive character infused by the unique combination of brisk sea air and meticulous cask selection. Each of the new whiskies tell their own story and bring their own part of the Old Pulteney legacy to life.

The new range is comprised of: Old Pulteney Huddart (ABV 46%) Matured in second fill American oak, ex bourbon casks then finished in ex-bourbon casks that had previously held heavily peated whisky.

Old Pulteney 12 Years Old (40% ABV) A repacked version of its current signature bottling, which is wholly matured in air dried, hand selected ex-bourbon casks, mostly second fill American oak.

Old Pulteney 15 Years Old (ABV 46%) Matured in second fill American oak, ex-bourbon casks, followed by a period of further maturation in first fill Spanish oak, ex Oloroso butts.

Old Pulteney 18 Years Old (46% ABV) Matured in second fill American oak, ex bourbon casks, followed by a period of further maturation in first fill Spanish, ex-Oloroso sherry butts.
