16-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from the Glen Deveron range, which is the name that Macduff uses for its official bottlings. This was originally released for the Travel Retail market.
Orchard fruits arrive first on the nose, followed by robust notes of golden barley.
More chewy cereal notes and green apple, soon joined by an elegant, subtle hint of peat smoke.
Lasting oak-y, peaty warm elements.
Had to decant due to a bad cork. But a brilliant budget 16 year old.
Got mine at Gatwick. Almost no nose. Good burst on the pallet, and quite sweet, but doesn't last long. Not much smoke. Nevertheless, I did enjoy it and at £44, found it to be good value. Gord Clark Rockburn, Qué.
Luckily I was given this bottle and initially guessed it must be around $40 or so and that it was not good enough for me to buy a replacement once this one's gone. Definitely enjoying it, which can be fairly effortless at times and just short of impossible the next time around. I gave it two stars, as it's by no means undrinkable, but three stars would mean I might buy a bottle, and I definitely won't be doing that.
My wife picked up a bottle at Heathrow, and stuffed it in her carry on. When she got home I poured a shot right away,. Excellent!!
Smooth and with a great nose, i found it so easy to drink. Round flavour, with a hint of sweetness. No doubt i am getting another bottle.
