 Old Pulteney has launched a
limited-edition variant of Old Pulteney
Scotch whisky exclusively for travel
retailers.
Old Pulteney "WK499 Isabella Fortuna"
single malt Scotch whisky will be
launched and sold exclusively at Ł32.99
in selected World Duty Free and World of
Whiskies stores in the UK before wider
European distribution with selected
operators from April 2010.
The whisky is bottled in 100cl at cask
strength, 52%abv. It is named after the
last remaining drifter boat in Wick
Harbour in the North of Scotland, the
Isabella Fortuna, registered as WK499.
Wick is home to the Pulteney distillery,
the most northerly distillery on the UK
mainland, and was the largest fishing
port in Europe in the 19th century.
Old Pulteney ‘WK499’ is launched
initially in the World of Whiskies
specialist shops at London Heathrow
Terminal 1, 4 and 5, London Gatwick
North, Gatwick South and Edinburgh,
Glasgow and London Stansted, and it will
be the WDF-chosen 'Malt of the Month' at
12 stores for the month of January 2010,
including in Heathrow T1, T3 and T5 and
at Aberdeen.
The exclusive release of 18,000 bottles
is from casks selected by Stuart Harvey,
Master Blender at Inver House Distillers
Ltd.
Speaking about the launch, Old
Pulteney’s Senior Brand Manager, Iain
Baxter commented: “We are delighted to
be offering this exclusive limited
edition to travel retail. The history of
the Pulteney Distillery is entwined with
the history of the Wick fishing
industry, that’s why Old Pulteney is
known as ‘The Genuine Maritime Malt’.
Both our bottles and tube feature a
traditional herring drifter and so it’s
only fitting that we acknowledge the
last remaining drifter in the harbour
with this limited edition Isabella
Fortuna WK499.”
