More readily available, and much welcomed on the shelves, since a change
of ownership. This whisky is nicknamed “The Manzanilla of the North”
after the coastal style of sherry. The producers of Manzanilla do supply
casks to the Scotch whisky industry, and it is certainly possible that the
odd butt has accommodated a charge of Pulteney whisky, but in general this
distillery is more inclined towards Bourbon wood. The brinyness of the
whisky probably owes more to Scotland’s sea air. Not only is the Pulteney
distillery on the coast, it is the northernmost distillery on the Scottish
mainland, at the town of Wick. Part of the town was built by Sir William
Pulteney in 1810 as a model fishing port. The Old Pulteney distillery was
founded in 1826 and rebuilt in 1959. It has been a contributor to the
Ballantine blends. In 1995, it was acquired by Inver House. A whisky
with lots of youthful muscle.
