About this bottle
The Good Hope was the first boat in Wick to install an echo sounder, using radio navigation to find the ever elusive shoals of herring. This lot also includes a glass pipette made by Iceberg Glass in Loch Ness, Scotland. Pipettes allow the connoisseur to add a few desired drops of water to their favourite dram than perhaps "drowning" it with water from a jug. Comes in an Old Pulteney presentation tube. A wonderful image from Pulteney advertising their Lighthouse collection which features a beautiful Old Pulteney sail boat and last but certainly not least a large Old Pulteney gift bag has been thrown in for good measure.

Located in the northern town of Wick, Pulteney has been a presence in this fishing port since 1826. It’s a fairly unique distillery in that it hasn’t expanded or changed greatly other than being rebuilt in 1958. Surrounded by weathered stone houses as old as the distillery itself, there isn’t much room to create more space, which is something you can appreciate if you take the tour. Such a small enclosed site and a modest-capacity by modern standards, hasn’t stopped Pulteney from establishing its own presence. Forever associated with the subtle maritime characteristics, the distillery closed for 21 years prior to the rebuild, when the town had voted to adopt its own version of prohibition. The current owners have expanded the range and rebranded in recent years, delivering several new age statements, but retired the fondly remembered 17 year old expression. Even its production limitations, there seems to be enough Pulteney to go around
