Pulteney: to distillery main page

Texte Français
 

I dropped in unexpectedly, and I just had nearly no time as I still had to visit the Speyside area (a few hundred kilometres further) when I was in Wick.

Despite all this, the welcome was great. A quick visit has been improvised by one of the workers of the distillery. This worker is working there since about 14 years, and made this visit a really unforgettable one.

Pulteney is a distillery which cares for the quality of its whisky rather than for the external aspect of the buildings. No ornamental pagoda roofs as there are so many in Scotland, just quality whisky.
