- Description
- Dufftown's 8-year-old from the 1980s represents classic Speyside character from a distillery known for producing approachable, malty whiskies. Matured in ex-bourbon casks, this bottling would display the orchard fruits and vanilla sweetness typical of the region, with a gentle oak influence. The 40% abv makes this an accessible daily drinker that rewards patient nosing. A nostalgic piece of Scottish whisky history in its original distillery livery.
