Old Pulteney's choice to support Sir Robin in his efforts relates to the whisky's maritime heritage. The Pulteney Distillery is the most northerly on the UK mainland, situated in the Highland coastal town of Wick, which during the herring boom of the 19th century was the busiest fishing port in Europe. The distillery has maintained a strong connection with its surroundings - whisky connoisseurs even say they can detect a faint hint of the sea in the delicious malt thanks to its windswept location and close proximity to the North Sea.
