- Description
- Macduff's 2003 vintage was initially aged in American oak then finished in a Port pipe, yielding 306 bottles when independently bottled by The Vintage Malt Whisky Co. in its Cooper's Choice series. The Port cask finish introduces dark berry, plum, and subtle tannin character that complements the Highland malt's underlying cereal and stone-fruit notes. A medium-weight whisky with good balance between the malt foundation and wine-cask influence. Best suited to those who enjoy Port-finished expressions and appreciate the marriage of Highland spirit with fortified wine.
