This twin pack containing 'the world's best whiskies'. Old Pulteney 21 Year Old won World Whisky of the Year in 2012, whilst the 1989 Vintage (bottled 2015) won the World's Best Single Malt award at the World Whiskies Awards in 2016. Pronounced World’s Best Single Malt Whisky of 2016 by prestigious World Whiskies Awards, Old Pulteney 1989 Vintage is the result of maturation in casks previously filled with peaty whisky from, Isle of Islay. A thin veil of smoke complements Old Pulteney’s signature style to form an exceptionally complex expression of the Maritime Malt, complete with the elusive hint of the open sea. Each bottle is natural colour and non chill-filtered at 46% abv, a true embodiment of our whisky distillery’s craftsmanship

Whisky Distillery Pulteney
1989 Vintage & 21 Year Old
The 21 year age-statement was introduced in 2005 as a limited edition small batch of 3000 bottles, but quickly became a mainstay of the portfolio. Old Pulteney 21 Year Old has been voted 2012 World Whisky of the Year by the prestigious "Jim Murray's Whisky Bible." Scoring a record-equalling 97.5 points out of 100, it is only the third time that a single malt has ever won the prestigious award, and we are just the second Scottish distillery to do so. This expression was discontinued in 2017 along with the 17 year old, both replaced by a 15 and 18 year old in a revamped core range the following year.
