Macduff 2012 9 Year Old, Dram Mor Single Cask #900047

Macduff distillery can often be overlooked for some of their more iconic Speyside neighbours. Established in 1960 by a group of brokers including seasoned distillery builder Brodie Hepburn, the seaside distillery has quietly gone about its business through the decades since, with five stills working tirelessly to bring us a subtle and sweet malt that encapsulates the Speyside palate perfectly.

Cask Number: 900047
Cask Type: Refill Sherry Butt
Bottles: 722

Tasting notes:
Colour: Burnished copper

Nose: When this cask was first sampled it was the perfect Devil’s cask at 66.6% and I am delighted to report that as it has come down the mild soft sherry tones which are so reminiscent of sherry trifles of childhood remain with sweet yellow fruits and creaminess to top things off.

Palate: Barley sugars and other old school boiled sweets mingling into creamy sherry which tingles the tastebuds.

Finish: Some gentle oak tannins join the creaminess from, the nose. Sweet, warm and satisfying.
