About Glen Deveron
(glen-DEV-er-en) Glen Deveron is the official single malt name historically used for whisky from Macduff Distillery, a Highland Scotch whisky distillery on the north-east coast near Banff. Built during the post-war whisky boom and producing from 1960, Macduff sits beside the River Deveron close to where it meets the Moray Firth. The distillery later became closely linked to William Lawson’s blended Scotch after being acquired by William Lawson Distillers in 1972.
Macduff is now owned by John Dewar & Sons under Bacardi, with official single malt releases more commonly appearing today as The Deveron, while the Macduff name is mainly used by independent bottlers. The distillery has five stills, with two wash stills and three spirit stills, and Glen Deveron is generally known for a coastal Highland style with orchard fruit, honey, malt, soft spice, gentle oak and a rounded nuttiness.
