Discover the culinary creations which celebrate the unique flavour of Old Pulteney Port
Celebrated Michelin-star chef Nuno Mendes, known for his innovative culinary style and passion for authentic flavours, has teamed up with Scotch whisky brand Old Pulteney to create a series of exquisite recipes that showcase the latest release in Old Pulteney’s limited-edition Coastal Series, Old Pulteney Port. Combining the maritime heritage of Wick with his own Portuguese heritage, he has drawn inspiration from both locations to create a series of dishes which celebrate the unique flavour profile of the whisky.
“I’ve crafted these recipes to highlight the beautiful connection between Portuguese and Scottish cuisines, using Old Pulteney Port to enhance the natural flavours of the sea,” Mendes says. “The flavours I’ve explored are a celebration of our shared coastal heritage, and come to life through delicious, memorable dishes.”
Old Pulteney’s Distillery Manager, Malcom Waring, adds, “Nuno’s passion and creativity is the perfect complement to the unique character of our whisky. Like Nuno, we know how evocative and influential the sea can be in unlocking our senses, so we’re excited to see how whisky lovers and food enthusiasts embrace this special collaboration.”
