Old Pulteney 18 Years Old Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that balances coastal character with refined oak maturity?

Old Pulteney 18 Years Old Highland Single Malt represents the pinnacle of the Maritime Malt collection, showcasing nearly two decades of patient maturation in American ex-bourbon casks. As a certified spirits specialist, I can confirm this expression delivers exceptional complexity for its category. The distillery’s unique coastal location in Wick—once the busiest herring port in Europe—imparts subtle maritime influences that distinguish it from inland Highland malts. Those exploring the Old Pulteney range should also consider the Old Pulteney 15 Years Old or the approachable Old Pulteney 12 Years Old for comparison.
