Old Pulteney was crowned World Whisky of the Year in Jim Murray's 2012 Whisky Bible.
The 21-year-old single malt scored a record-equalling 97.5 points out of 100.
The whisky is matured in American oak casks and bottled at the Pulteney distillery in Wick, Caithness.
Whisky expert Mr Murray tasted more than 1,200 new drams before deciding on the winner.
He said: "The 21-year-old Old Pulteney absolutely exploded from the glass with vitality, charisma and class.
"Pulteney doesn't have the financial muscle of the major whisky barons to market its malts on the global stage.
