- Description
- This Highland single malt from Macduff was distilled in 1990 and aged for 21 years before being selected by Douglas Laing for their Old Malt Cask series in 2011. Twenty-one years provides the time needed to develop complexity in Highland whisky, softening the distillery's typically grassy character while adding depth and maturity. The Old Malt Cask series emphasizes cask character and natural colour, offering a window into how this understated distillery ages.
