Product description
Old Pulteney is the best-selling single malt whisky in the Inver House portfolio.
It is worth to note that the first official bottling was released in 1997, two years after the company purchased the distillery. Since then the Old Pulteney brand climbed into top 20 best-selling single malts with current annual sales of over 600,000 bottles. Old Pulteney 1990 Vintage is a pretty unique expression from the distillery. The whisky began its story in American oak ex-bourbon barrels before moving into Spanish oak casks then end up in casks, which previously held heavily peated whisky for a brief period of time. Old Pulteney 1990 Vintage was bottled without chill-filtration at 46% abv in 2017 in partnership with World Duty Free and Heathrow Airport.
