Macduff Infrequent Flyers Single Cask #11303 Whisky 11 Year Old · 2007 Vintage
Out of stock
Often bottled officially under the Glen Deveron name by it's owners Bacardi, Macduff often flies (pardon the pun) under the radar. Slightly coastal in character with a clean and gently nutty, salted caramel note, this is a Highland Whisky worth snapping up if you are looking for something slightly of the beaten track.
This is the 2nd batch of Single cask whiskies from the Alistair Walker Whisky Company, cask strength and natural colour with a focus on some high quality but lesser known distilleries.
Really full-flavoured dram for a lesser known distillery. Interestingly, the out-turn was much lower than expected, meaning that the head space (air in cask) was above average, hence enhanced oxidisation of this whisky leading to a particularly smooth dram. This was also a late addition to batch 2, replacing a more famous distillery cask that just wasn't up to scratch (yet! - that cask has since been re-racked). Flavour over reputation.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Natural colour, a sunlit gold that eases into warm amber with coppery highlights, caramel warmth shimmering through.
Nose
A huge, inviting nose of burnt toffee, cake mix and hints of marzipan.
Palate
Bright and vibrant, the palate is jam-packed with flavor: butterscotch sweetness, honeycomb, vanilla pods, and a playful note of popcorn, tempered by clove and peppery spice. A long, warm finish.
Finish
A long, syrupy finish that clings to the palate, chewy with caramel sweetness and a whisper of vanilla and spice.
