This bottling of an 8-year-old Old Pulteney single malt was produced by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail as part of its Distillery Labels series. As a licensed bottling, the bottle features a label designed to resemble the distillery's original labels. The whisky was probably bottled in the 1980s.
Pulteney is a distillery in the harbour town of Wick in the county of Caithness in Scotland, which was founded in 1826 by James Henderson. It remained in the family for about a hundred years, after which there were many changes of ownership and also closures. Formerly used exclusively for blends, under the current owner Inver House Distillers, there are various original bottlings under the name Old Pulteney.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
