The brand
Founded in 1826, Old Pulteney is among the distilleries that closed their doors for almost 30 years before re-opening in 1959, at the dawn of one of the biggest booms in the history of whisky. The most northern distillery in mainland Scotland, Pulteney enjoys a superb reputation amongst amateurs: its saline character, enhanced by hints of coconut and broom, has won over the palates of the most seasoned connoisseurs. Owned by the Inverhouse group, its bottlings are predominantly matured in bourbon casks. It has in the past, however, repeatedly marked itself out with bottlings aged entirely in sherry casks dating back to the 1960s.

Merchant
This independent bottler is without a doubt one of the most highly acclaimed in Scotland. It stands out, not for its age (though it is the oldest independent bottler in Scotland), but for its complete mastery of cask ageing. Gordon & MacPhail is the only bottler to have its own casks - carefully chosen for the purpose - filled by the distilleries themselves, instead of simply buying the ones suggested to them by the latter. This allows it to determine, in advance and with great precision, exactly how many years a whisky will need to reach ideal maturation.
The line
La gamme Distillery Labels témoigne des relations toutes particulières qu'entretient Gordon & MacPhail avec une poignée de distilleries depuis plus d'un siècle. Se voyant confier année après année des new make spirits (les distillats), Gordon & Macphail a développé son art pour la maturation du whisky et met en valeur chaque expression sous une étiquette unique. Un honneur pour ces distilleries, aujourd'hui devenues emblématiques, qui n'embouteillaient pas, ou peu, leur single malt sous leur propre marque. En savoir plus
