Old Pulteney 12 Year Old Bottled 2000s 100cl / 43%

An old presentation bottle of Old Pulteney 12 Year Old with a screen printed label. We estimate this was bottled in the early 2000s, before 2013 when Wolfburn took the title of Scotland's most northerly mainland distillery from Old Pulteney.

Port Ellen was established as a malt mill in 1825, and later developed into a distillery by John Ramsay. The distillery closed in 1983, though the maltings continue to supply many of Islay's distilleries. Stocks of Port Ellen are still available and the whisky has become highly collectible since the distillery closed, though it is no longer part of Diageo's annual Special Releases. In 2017, Diageo announced that Port Ellen distillery is to be rebuilt in its original buildings, and would reopen in 2020.
