Flash Sale – Old Pulteney 12 & 15 Years Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What happens when Scotland’s northernmost mainland distillery meets the wild North Sea winds for over a decade?

This exceptional Old Pulteney duo showcases the remarkable evolution of Highland single malt whisky through extended maturation. The maritime influence from Wick’s coastal location creates a distinctive character that sets these expressions apart from typical Highland whiskies. Both bottles demonstrate how ex-bourbon cask maturation develops complexity over time, making this flash sale particularly compelling for collectors exploring aged Scottish expressions alongside options like Benromach 15 Years or Glen Garioch 12 Years Highland.
