Mossburn Single Malt Scotch Whisky No.12 Macduff (750 ml)

The MossburnVintage Casks range are a collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies each issuing from a strictly limited and select batch of casks. Each numbered release will only ever yield a finite number of bottles. While this means that we can never replicate the particular character of each of these Single Malts, it also offers an opportunity to sample what we believe to be an exceptional examples of the whisky made by some of Scotland’s most distinguished distilleries.

For this range we have sought out Single Malts of interest from distilleries not owned or run by ourselves. They are the issue of specific vintages, with full traceability of the distillation and cask ageing that they have undergone. The master blender has specially selected these barrels from our ageing warehouses, where many Single Malt Casks lie slowly maturing, as worthy of special Mossburn Distillers & Blenders bottling. Each batch exhibited the classic hallmarks of balance, depth and complexity that only the best Single Malts can deliver.

These Single Malt Scotch Whiskies have all been bottled without any colouring or chill filtration.

Distilling commenced in 1963, the modern Macduff interestingly has two wash stills and three spirit stills, all of which release their spirit through lyne arms that have a 90 degree right handed angle in them. It also has both wooden and stainless-steel fermenters. Perhaps all these elements contribute to the balance of fruitiness to cereal notes that this whisky presents. The mid palate has ginger, caramel and some softer malted cereal finishing lightly with a gentle sweet touch.
