Old Pulteney Flotilla Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that captures the wild spirit of Scotland’s northern coastline?

The Old Pulteney Flotilla represents the pinnacle of maritime whisky craftsmanship from the legendary Wick distillery. This limited annual release showcases the distillery’s mastery of coastal maturation, where Atlantic sea spray and Highland winds create something truly extraordinary. While exploring Highland expressions, whisky enthusiasts often compare this to Deanston Virgin Oak’s bold character or Glenmorangie’s refined elegance.

• Distillery: Old Pulteney, Wick – Scotland’s northernmost mainland distillery since 1826
• Region: Highlands – maritime influence creates distinctive salinity
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for both neat sipping and cocktail crafting
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: American oak bourbon casks delivering rich vanilla complexity
• Tasting Notes: Sea spray and brine on the nose, followed by orchard fruits, green apple, and white plums. The palate reveals cinnamon spice, coconut sweetness, and graham cracker notes, finishing with maritime salt and warming pepper
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, or with a splash of spring water

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression particularly rewarding for its authentic coastal character – something increasingly rare in today’s whisky landscape. The maritime salinity creates a complexity that evolves beautifully in the glass.

Recommended for: Experienced whisky drinkers ready to explore beyond classics like The Dalmore’s sherried sophistication.
