- Description
- Macduff distilled in autumn 1997 and aged 15 years in a single cask before Douglas Laing's Provenance bottling at 46% ABV, this Highland whisky reflects the distillery's orchard-fruit and honey character. The decade-and-a-half in wood adds layers of vanilla and dried fruit, while maintaining the approachable, slightly floral personality typical of the distillery. A straightforward, well-matured dram suited to everyday sipping or introduction to Highland single malts.
