Old Pulteney Navigator Single Malt Whisky - Wine & Spirits Magazine

Old Pulteney Navigator Single Malt Whisky


Old Pulteney, based in Wick in the Scottish Highlands, designed its latest release, Navigator, as an homage to its town’s seafaring past: Wick was once renowned for its herring industry. There is no age statement, which means there’s a big mix of different ages of whiskies, yet that doesn’t mean it lacks flavor. Aged in a combination of used Bourbon and Sherry casks in a barrel warehouse near the sea, it’s redolent of salt water and coastal grass, with a balanced sweetness, almond nuttiness and plenty of malt flavor.
