Macduff Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 17 Year Old · 1978 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with warm copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge, hinting at sherry-cask maturation.

Nose

Opulent and aged, the nose unfurls with mahogany oak and toffee, wrapped around dried plum and fig. Orange zest, almond, and a whisper of spice—cinnamon and clove—emerge, while a cocoa-soft finish hints at sherry cask influence, promising depth, polish, and a refined, mature sweetness.

Palate

Velvety and sherried on the palate, with dried fig and raisin weaving into dark cherry and orange zest. Luxurious toffee, almond and cocoa mingle with clove and nutmeg, resting on polished oak. The finish is long and warming, echoing chocolate, candied fruit and refined sweetness.

Finish

Long, graceful finish with sherried sweetness and gentle oak spice. Dried fig and orange zest ride a cocoa-tinted backdrop, fading to toasted almond and a hint of tobacco. Warm, lingering sweetness coats the palate, leaving a refined, honeyed echo that beckons the next sip.
