Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky is distilled at Pulteney Distillery in Wick, on the shores of north-eastern Scotland.
We produce hand-crafted single malt whiskies and age them next to the sea, thereby giving them an unmistakable coastal character. Our story is inseparable from the sea and the bountiful opportunities it brought – forever intertwined not only with our maritime climate but with the community, heritage and spirit of our coastal home of Wick.

Pulteney Distillery
With traditional warehouses exposed to the invigorating sea air blowing in off the North Sea, Old Pulteney captures the taste of the sea in every drop of its liquid gold. From subtle coastal chords to more defined salty notes, the flavour of our whiskies says much about the role and influence of our home.
