The Pulteney distillery was founded in 1826 by James Henderson in the historic Caithness fishing port of Wick and has changed hands many times over the years. It is currently the second best seller in the Inver House stable. In 1930 production ceased at Pulteney, due to the introduction of prohibition in Wick in an attempt to curb drunkenness. The town remained ‘dry’ until 1947, and four years later Pulteney distillery re-opened. The distillery has won many accolades over the years.
Pulteney distillery is equipped with a single pair of very individual stills, with condensing taking place in a pair of stainless steel worm tubs. Both stills boast large boil balls, and the wash still has a unique, truncated, flat-topped appearance.
Formerly only available in travel retail this is a no-age-statement release from Old Pulteney that replaces the earlier WK209. They’ve called it “Isabella Fortuna” after the last drifter boat still in Wick harbour - if you stand at the top of the hill by the distillery you can almost see it.
