Podcast: Pulteney Distillery

In this episode of the distillerytours.scot podcast we travel to the far north of Scotland to the iconic Pulteney Distillery in Wick. As the distillery celebrates its 200th anniversary, David Riddell speaks to Brand Home Senior Host Daniel Ross in the tasting room to explore two centuries of whisky-making heritage.

They dive into Pulteney’s fascinating history - from its origins in 1826 and its ties to Wick’s once-thriving herring industry, to the hands-on, traditional methods still used today. Daniel also shares his own journey into whisky and gives an insider’s look at the distillery’s celebrated core range, including the Harbour, 12, 15, and 18-year-old expressions - each reflecting that signature maritime character.

With anniversary-exclusive releases, new visitor experiences, and behind-the-scenes insights, this episode is a perfect guide for anyone planning a pilgrimage to this northern gem.

To round things off, Daniel takes on the “Desert Island Drams” challengerevealing his dream dinner guests, favourite whiskies, music picks, and the one bottle he couldn’t live without.
