Old Pulteney, The Maritime Malt, presents the Prawn Cocktail - the mixologist’s twist on the Christmas classic. Featuring a 12-year-old scotch from the UK's most northernly shores and tasting notes of salted honey, anise, baking spice and herbaceous backnotes, it has been designed to pair perfectly with the starter too. Cheers!
