The Deveron – 18 Year Old 70cl Bottle

An exceptional Highland single malt whisky from Macduff Distillery. A rich nose, with an oily top note, then fragrant wood notes and creamy fudge. At full strength the taste is sweet throughout, with traces of toffee apple, clotted cream and tobacco. A drop of water increases the mineral oil scent, fills out the mouth-feel, and dries out the taste a little.

Even the most ardent whisky connoisseurs amongst you could be forgiven for not recognising The Deveron name as a single malt, that is because the Macduff Distillery owners John Dewar & Co have rebranded from Glen Deveron and launched a new range of expressions under The Deveron name.

This is the first time in the distillery’s history that there has been a range of expressions available at any one time from the the Macduff distillery

A 10yo,12yo and 18 year old were released and there was even talk of a Deveron 25 year old when the plans for a new Deveron whisky range was unveiled, no sign of it yet so for the time being this new 18 year old sits at the top of the new The Deveron domestic market range.

Matured in a combination of Spanish sherry and American ex-bourbon oak casks, mainly hogsheads, it has been bottled at 40% ABV. Similar to the other bottlings in the new range, The Deveron 18 year old packaging has a subtle northern Scotland maritime coastal community look and feel to it.
