Old Pulteney History
The origins of Old Pulteney
The story of Old Pulteney begins in 1826 in Wick, a harbor town in the north of Scotland, when James Henderson founded the distillery. Old Pulteney is known as "The Maritime Malt" and reflects the close connection to the coast and the sea. The salty sea air and the fact that the whisky is aged close to the coast give it its characteristic maritime flavor.
