Old Pulteney 15 Years Old Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What makes a Highland single malt truly capture the essence of Scotland’s rugged coastline?

The Old Pulteney 15 Years Old represents the pinnacle of maritime whisky craftsmanship from Scotland’s northernmost mainland distillery. Known as the “Malt Whisky of the Sea,” this expression showcases the dual cask maturation that sets it apart from Highland contemporaries like The Dalmore 25 Years and Glenmorangie 12 Years Original. This non-chill filtered whisky delivers complexity that bridges the gap between approachable and sophisticated.
