Macduff 10 Years Old 2009
Established in 1960, during another whisky boom, the MacDuff distillery is still trying to create an image for itself. Founded by the MacDuff Distillers Limited, near Banff in Aberdeenshire, the distillery is owned today by the Bacardi group. The boom during the 1960s was strong and particularly around blends, so MacDuff’s production was increased, and to this day, is largely associated with the William Lawson Scotch blend. Part of the issue for MacDuff is that it has been bottled under a variety of names including the Glen Deveron and currently, The Deveron. This latest incarnation was launched in 2015 as part of the Last Great Malts range and features a variety of age states in an eye-catching smoky glass bottle. These have been well received and are well-priced for their age statements. Perhaps after sixty-plus years, we can now appreciate this overlooked distillery.
