Description

The Pulteney distillery was founded in 1826 by James Henderson in the historic Caithness fishing port of Wick and has changed hands many times over the years. It is currently the second best seller in the Inver House stable. In 1930 production ceased at Pulteney, due to the introduction of prohibition in Wick in an attempt to curb drunkenness. The town remained 'dry' until 1947, and four years lat. Old Pulteney Noss Head is part of the travel retail exclusive 'Lighthouse Series', named after the Noss Head lighthouse near Wick. It is a non-age statement single malt Scotch whisky, matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks and bottled at 46% ABV. [2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22]
