I was very interested to read this news. I'm not a whisky expert, by any means, but I enjoy a glass or two of single malt as a night cap. My favourite tipples are Laphroaig, Highland Park and Lagavulin - I love the intense smoky, peaty undertones - but I'm a firm believer in adding a drop of water to separate the oils, remove some of the 'fire' and bring out the flavours.
Old Pulteney comes from Wick in Caithness, Scotland... and I can remember working at nearby John O'Groats for two months shortly before I went to university. I spent two months living in a 10ft caravan in a field next to the hotel. No heating, no running water, no electricity, no toilet - so thank heavens for the hospitality of the hotel manager, who let me use the facilities. A desolate but amazing place - as June approached, I would walk down to the harbour and even at midnight, it was daylight.
