Macduff Distillery

Macduff Distillery is located on the banks of the River Deveron, near the town of Macduff in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Founded in 1962 by a group of local entrepreneurs, the distillery is a relatively young player in the world of Scotch whisky. Despite its young age, Macduff has quickly made a name for itself with its quality single malts.

A unique feature of Macduff Distillery is its use of a modern, innovative approach combined with traditional techniques. The distillery has five stills, of which the so-called lyne arms have a sharp downward angle, contributing to the whisky's light and fruity character. Distillery bottlings are marketed under the name The Deveron and are known for their smooth and accessible flavour profiles.

The whisky is mainly matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, ensuring a nice balance between sweetness and complexity. Macduff whiskies have notes of apple, vanilla, honey and a subtle spiciness. The combination of innovative production and a picturesque location makes Macduff Distillery a respected name in the world of Scotch single malt whisky.
