Macduff 1992 (bottled 2004) The Golden Cask (70cl, 66.7%) ***sold***
Cask 321068, Bottle No 105 of 221.
This whisky was distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2004 by The House of MacDuff for their flagship Golden Cask range. Each cask is specially selected to represent the region and distillery of its origin. They don’t chill filter and use a coarse filter which cleans cask debris and allows for a fuller flavour and greater texture.
Each bottle is one of a limited number its parent cask has produced, no two casks taste the same. A truly special, one-of-a-kind whisky.
Production began at Macduff distillery in 1963, and it was eventually purchased by William Lawson, the Scotch whisky arm of Italian giants, Martini & Rossi. In addition to provision for the William Lawson blend, the company also set about bottling its single malt, selecting the name "Glen Deveron," and youthful 5 and 8 year old age statements so make it more marketable in Italy, where its Glen Grant equivalents were best-sellers. Glen Deveron disappeared after Bacardi took over the distillery ownership in 1993, but eventually returned as simply The Deveron. Macduff-labelled single malts were widely bottled by independent companies in the meantime, and continue to be today.
