(22nd - 29th September) Old Pulteney is opening its distillery
doors to whisky enthusiasts and offering
them the choice of three unique
distillery tours.
The distillery is scheduled to kick off
this years Highland Whisky Festival on
Friday 22nd September, and the three
distinct tours the distillery is
offering are destined to be a
special highlight of this years
Highland Whisky Festival, dedicated to
showcasing Highland distilleries.
With prices ranging from £30 to £175 per
person, these three whisky experiences
offer an immersive journey through every
step of Old Pulteney's renowned
distillation process, beginning with the
first droplet of water drawn from Loch
Hempriggs and concluding with the
captivating final dram.
The Distillery Exclusive Tour provides
an introduction to Old Pulteney, its
remarkable distillation processes and
how its coastal location influences its
world-class single malts, concluding
with a tasting session of three
outstanding expressions: Old Pulteney 12
Year Old, Old Pulteney Pineau des
Charentes and Old Pulteney Distillery
Exclusive. Guests will also receive a
complimentary branded rocks glass to
take home.
The Festival Fleet Tour delves deeper
into Old Pulteney’s history. Experienced
tour guides will accompany guests
through the distillery, uncovering the
traditional whisky-making methods the
distillery still uses to this day. This
tasting includes the same three drams as
the Distillery Exclusive tour, however,
guests will also be treated to the
prized Old Pulteney 25 Years Old, an Old
Pulteney Bourbon Single Cask and Old
Pulteney Sherry Single Cask, three
exceptional expressions which are
testament to The Maritime Malt’s
enduring spirit. Departing guests will
also receive a memorable parting gift:
an Old Pulteney crystal malt blender
glass.
The Malt Master Experience delivers an
experience like no other. Distillery

conduct a whisky masterclass, hosted in
a private warehouse. VIP guests will
enjoy an intimate whisky tasting,
sampling the very oldest drams from the
Old Pulteney core range, Old Pulteney 15
Years Old, Old Pulteney 18 Years Old and
the exquisite 25 Years Old. Guests will
also enjoy the recently launched

the distillery and Old Pulteney’s online
store. Malcolm will conclude the session
with a series of truly special whiskies,
including a hand-selected Old Pulteney
Bourbon Single Cask, Old Pulteney Sherry
Single Cask, and finally one of
Malcolm’s personal favourites, selected
from his own private collection. Guests
will also receive a crystal malt blender
glass as a final farewell.
