Scallops with pancetta, arugula pesto and potato cream
Deliciously paired with Old Pulteney Single Malt 12 YO.For almost two centuries, Old Pulteney's single malt has been distilled and matured on the border of water and land. In the fishing village of Wick lies one of the northernmost distilleries in Scotland. The history of Wick and Old Pulteney are as intertwined as the whisky from this distillery is with the sea. It is not called the Maritime Malt for nothing. Thanks to its salty note, this whisky pairs well with fish, shellfish, and crustaceans. In addition, it is full and creamy, making it the perfect companion for this dish.
