+===== Old Pulteney =====
+//Established in 1826.//
+Wick was the herring capital of Europe from 1860-90, when a flotilla of as many as 1,000 boats - known as drifters - crowded the harbour during 'silver darling' season. The drifters employed around 6,000 fishermen and provided labour for a further 6,000 hands, including the 'fisher-lassies' who gutted, salted and barrelled the herring for export worldwide.
+As the man behind the town's 19th Century fishing boom, Sir William Pulteney put Wick on the map, but today the Pulteney name is better known for its unique single malt whisky. Distilled and matured by the sea, the liquid in our casks is cocooned by salty air swept ashore on Arctic winds.
+During Wick's heyday as Europe's herring capital, the vessels, adorned with their generous, sparkling hauls of silver darlings, also carried fishermen in their droves. Exhausted after weekes of high seas hardship, the courageous seafarers who landed silver by the barrel were rewarded with liquid gold by the cask

+| ::: | Since 1826, Pulteney Distillery has endured everything nature and man can throw at it, including 25 years of prohibition. //Old Pulteney// is inseparable from the spirit of the harbour town it calls home which is why it will always be //The Maritime Malt//. |
+| ::: | Matured next to the sea in hand-selected, second fill ex-bourbon barrels. //Sweet cream, warm oats and orchard fruits// lead into //fresh pastry// with a burst of //citrus and coconut//. Then a //warm, lasting finish// with a robust coastal character in this gold single malt. |
+| ::: | Matured in fine American oak casks, cocooned by the sea air around the coastal distillery. Smooth and charismatic. Truly //The Maritime Malt//. |

+  *Note : Doux mais épicé. Une bonne rondeur en bouche. Fruits du vergers très présents. Au nez et un peu en bouche on peut sentir l'influence du bourbon. Un long finish en effet. Très appréciable. Pas tourbé, pas iodé.
