World’s rarest single malt

One of the world’s rarest single malt whiskies. It takes a strong, robust and flavourful style of malt to hold off the tannins and spices of the oak cask beyond even 30 years. It is rare for Macduff to appear as a single malt at all, let alone as a whisky of such a great age. This malt is venerable and special: it was produced before man landed on the moon The distillery lies in the North Eastern part of the Speyside region, close to the River Deveron and the sea port of Banff but the make is classified as a Highlands malt. Its whiskies are marked for their fruity, nutty and slightly oily qualities.

Tasting notes by Charles Maclean:

Appearance: Dull gold, with khaki lights. Aroma: A mellow nose, but still with some sparkle. A big, rich aroma, with aromatherapy almond scented oil, waxy hand-cream and tropical fruits like ripe pineapple, plantain, Ogen melon, gradually gaining a note of orange and mango on a base of fresh coco-nut. Complex, intriguing, appetising. Taste: A smooth, texture, teeth-coating and a savoury taste after a sweet start, with a trace of salt and a pleasantly spicy, medium-length and warming finish. Comment: Such a flavour profile can only be achieved by long maturation in an American oak refill cask. Macduff/Glen Deveron, now named ‘The Deveron’ by its proprietor, is not a common malt. This is the best example I have had the pleasure of tasting.
