Creamy milk chocolate with tangerines, toasted hazelnut and a clear citrus note which develops into lemon zest. After a while a floral note appears like honeysuckle. The overall mouthfeel is nice and smooth with a medium length, clean and fresh finish.
Versatile, since it can serve as an aperitif with a spaghetti vongole appetizer, but also with a light and creamy dessert – think crème brûlée. All in all, a very friendly and well-balanced single malt to revisit time and again.

A little piece of history
Macduff was founded in 1960 to supplement malts for Dewar’s and William Lawson blended Scotch. Since 1993 Bacardi owns the distillery. The stills are operated with highly unusual horizontal condensers, that supposedly adds to the light and delicate character of the spirit. The whisky is also bottled as a single malt under the brand name The Deveron, following a previously launched Macduff Pure Highland Malt Scotch Whisky in 1968, which version is extremely rare now.
