Before we get to our review of the Old Pulteney 12, let’s get some facts and figures about the distillery: Located in the town of Wick, the distillery was founded in 1826. Prior to 2012, which is the year that the Wolfburn distillery opened its doors in the […]

G-LO: AK BABY! Remember that Single Cask Nation Scotland trip you went on a couple years ago? I’m sure there was oodles of tippling fine spirits going on, so I completely get it if you don’t. Plus, you’re really old and your memory ain’t what it used to […]
