Old Pulteney recently announced the second expression within its limited edition Coastal Series: Old Pulteney Port.
The Coastal Series finds the distillery partnering with spirits makers from coastal locations across the globe, further maturing its whisky in a specialist selection of casks that are designed to “bring wonderful new coastal flavours to ‘The Maritime Malt.”
Presented in a ruby red box which reflects the colors of Port, the packaging features an illustration of the Portuguese coast and a golden trim. Non-chilled filtered, Old Pulteney Port is available now in the UK at specialist whisky retailers. The European release will follow shortly after before launching in the US in 2024.

READ THE STORYMalcolm Waring, Distillery Manager at Pulteney said in a prepared statement that “it’s a true honour to welcome the second expression in Old Pulteney’s Coastal Series – Old Pulteney Port. A delicious balance of the rich, juicy flavours that comes from Port with the sea-saltiness that Old Pulteney is known and loved for, the result is an exceptional single malt that deserves to be savoured.
“Old Pulteney Port is a wonderful addition to our series of limited editions, shining a spotlight on another coastal region through a beautiful cask maturation, and follows from the success of our first Coastal Series expression, Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes, perfectly.”
The first expression of The Coastal Series, Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes, brought flavors of the French coastline to The Maritime Malt, through the use of ex-Pineau des Charentes wine casks. Further expressions are launching in 2024 and 2025.
