Old Pulteney 8 Year Old 100 Proof
Bottled 1970s - Gordon & MacPhail 5cl
A miniature bottle of Old Pulteney 8 Year Old 100° Proof, bottled at 57% ABV by Gordon & MacPhail. We estimate this was bottled in the 1970s.
Old Pulteney distillery was founded in Wick in 1826 and was for many years the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. Built during the town's 'herring boom', the distillery was only accessible by sea. Barley was shipped in and whisky was shipped out and many of the distillery workers were also herring fishermen. With over 7000 workers arriving in the town each day during herring season (and 500 gallons of whisky consumed per day!) Wick became a lawless place. Troops and gunboats were called in to keep the peace and the sale of alcohol was prohibited, a ban which lasted until 1947.
