In 2015 John Dewar & Sons rebranded and officially launched The Deveron single malt series (10, 12, and 18-year-old expressions), replacing the historical Glen Deveron name used in the 1980s.

The Deveron single malt is crafted at the Macduff Distillery, situated right where the River Deveron meets the North Sea in Banff. It is a rare coastal Highland whisky famous for its unusually low, five-still setup, horizontal condensers, and a delightfully fruity, nutty flavour profile.

The whisky is named after the water source, the River Deveron. While official bottlings are sold under The Deveron (or Glen Deveron in duty-free), the distillery itself is legally named Macduff. The Deveron name was specifically chosen because "Macduff" was deemed an unappealing brand name. Independent bottlers still use the Macduff name.

On August 16, 1941, the site was targeted by a Luftwaffe bomber. The attack destroyed warehouse 12, causing spirit to flood into nearby streams and resulting in reports of highly intoxicated livestock in the surrounding fields.

The facility was built in 1960 and made history as the very first distillery in Scotland to utilize a metal mash tun. An uneven number of pot stills is unusual, and Macduff uses five (two wash stills and three spirit stills). Additionally, it uses horizontal condensers instead of the traditional vertical ones, which maximizes copper contact and creates a notably lighter spirit. Maturation predominantly occurs in a mix of Spanish sherry and American ex-bourbon oak casks. This creates an easy-drinking dram.
