Description
Old Pulteney 2004 Single Cask GWS #197
The Pulteney distillery in Wick was built in 1826, and for a long time was the northernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland. Acquired by John Dewar & Sons in 1924, the distillery was quickly forced to close down in 1930, as Prohibition in its hometown was enacted to attempt to curb drunkenness among its maritime society. When it re-opened in 1955, the majority of its output was reserved for blending, although Gordon & MacPhail were licensed to bottle a single malt by Allied Breweries (later Allied Domecq). Its single malt was known as “Old Pulteney” on their labels, and this tradition remained when Inver House, who acquired the distillery in 1995, released Pulteney’s first distillery bottlings.
A single cask Old Pulteney, bottled exclusively for The Green Welly Stop in 2018. Distilled in 2004 and matured in cask #197.
One of only 270 bottles.
