The distillery produces the Old Pulteney single malt whisky at a number of ages and has a visitor centre in Huddart Street.

The herring fishing industry is no longer part of daily life in Wick but the distillery continues to operate, producing a Highland single malt with a reputation as one of the finest available.

[4] In July 2023, the distillery released its oldest whisky to date, the 45-year-old "Old Pulteney Bow Wave".

[5] The Pulteney site uses water from an old mill lade,[6] constructed by Thomas Telford.

[7] This stream flows out of Loch Hempriggs, 3 or 4 kilometres (2 miles) to the south/southwest, and is reputed to have powered a barley mill at or near the site of the distillery.
