Decadent Drinks have never been shy about their labels, and this one tells you exactly where the whisky is from: the sea. Old Pulteney, distilled in 2013, matured for eleven years in a single first-fill ex-bourbon barrel and bottled in 2025 at 53%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePulteney sits in Wick, on the far north-east tip of mainland Scotland, and for most of its life it was a fishing-town distillery in every sense. It still calls itself the maritime malt, and the spirit earns the name: oily, briny and fresh, with a sturdy Highland weight underneath. Independent bottlings like this one show a livelier, less oak-polished side of the distillery than the official range, which is exactly why they're worth seeking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, green apple and green banana, a herbal edge of lovage and sorrel, and a breath of sea air. The palate is bright and zesty, with lime and a drop of olive brine over that Pulteney heft. Add water and you'll find orange cream coming through, before a fairly long, salty finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the sort of bottle for anyone who likes their whisky bold, bright and unmistakably coastal. At the price, a single first-fill cask at cask strength is serious value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeat in a Glencairn first, then a few drops of water to bring out the orange cream and soften the brine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOysters, smoked haddock, or fish and chips with plenty of salt and vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57358354448708,"sku":"HO40701CNV","price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO-DecadentDrams-OldPulteney11.png?v=1791310657","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/old-pulteney-2013-11-year-old-decadent-drams-70cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
