Description
Macduff's 20-year-old 1997 single malt from Valinch & Mallet spent two decades in a single bourbon hogshead, developing measured complexity from consistent oak interaction without excessive wood influence. Highland character melds with bourbon cask maturation to create a balanced profile of grain sweetness, vanilla, and gentle oak tannins at natural cask strength. The 296-bottle Lost Drams Collection release underscores the rarity of this specific cask maturation in an era before extensive single-cask bottling became standard practice. A considered choice for collectors seeking well-aged Highland whisky with traceable provenance and modest production.
