Malt Of The Month February 2024 - Old Pulteney Harbour Single Malt
Our Malt of the Month is Old Pulteney Harbour Single Malt
Defined and shaped by its stunning coastal location, Old Pulteney single malt Scotch whisky owes much to its home town of Wick. Being distilled and matured by the sea coupled with meticulous cask selection creates a distinctive flavour which sets it apart from other single malt Scotch whiskies.

Old Pulteney Harbour Single Malt
The latest release from Old Pulteney is Harbour Single Malt. This approachable whisky is matured by the sea in a quartet of hand-selected fine American oak ex-bourbon casks, each imparting unique flavour profiles and cocooned by the sea air of the remote coastal distillery. Second fill barrels, re-charred barrels, first fill ex-bourbon barrels and refill barrels are married together to create this vibrant whisky.
