Process

Throughout the long and eventful history of Pulteney Distillery, the quality of both our whisky and the process by which we make it remains a source of pride to us all. The traditional craftsmanship deployed when the distillery first opened its doors in 1826 is what continues to characterise Old Pulteney single malt Scotch whisky nearly two centuries later.
