With
the exception of Orkney Islands, Pulteney is the most northern
distillery of Scotland. The distillery is named after an old estate
in the Southern part of the city of Wick, Pulteney town.
The distillery stayed in the family of is founder James Henderson
until the mid 1920's, when it has been bought by James Wartson & Co., owner of Parkmore
and Ord. Three years later, this company became part of John Dewar's & Sons
who was incorporated some time later by the D.C.L (Distillers Company Ltd.)
Closed from 1930 until 1951, Pulteney has been bought in 1951 by Robert Cumming,
owner of Balblair who was constraint to resell the
distillery to Hiram Walker in 1959. The latter renewed the distillery completely.
The current owners, the Inver House company bought both Balblair and Pulteney
distilleries in 1995.
It's single malt is known as Old Pulteney, but the major part of the production
is intended for the blends of Inver House: Catton's, Hankey Bannister, MacArthur's
and Pinwinnie Royal, and for the Heather Cream whisky liqueur.

Whisky is an alcoholic drink. Let's prefer quality to quantity as the abuse of alcohol beverages can damage the health. Consuming alcoholic drinks during pregnancy, even in small quantities, can seriously affect the health of the child. Consumption of alcohol impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
