This 11 year old Macduff single malt is the 6th release from That Boutique-y Whisky Company. Distilled in 2007 and matured in a single Sherry puncheon before bottling at 48%.
Producer Description
"An 11 Year Old Macduff, distilled in Novmber 2007, and matured in a single puncheon. We’ve bottled this at 48% abv. Just 10% of the production of malt at the Macduff distillery is bottled a single malt whisky. The distillery is the home of the William Lawson Blended Scotch Whisky. The Macduff distillery was built in 1960 tapping into the post-war whisky boom by a group of Glasgow brokers. While whisky from this distillery was known as a young single malt in Italy, it was bottled under the Glen Deveron brand. Five stills, two wash, and three spirit, all with upward-tilting lyne arms that have a right angled kink in them. The spirit stills also have horizontal shell and tube condensers. The character is nutty (slightly sulphury at new make stage), with quick mashing, short fermentation and cold condensers."
About the Label
"They don’t release whisky themselves under their own name - they release it under the name The Deveron. This is why the name Macduff might be more familiar to you from Shakespeare’s play, ‘Macbeth’. We’ve even put one of the deleted scenes from the play on the label of our Macduff bottling. Press the stopper down to hear the director’s commentary from Shakespeare himself (probably a lie)."
500ml mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Creamy, with malted milk biscuits, toasted marshmallows, syrupy peaches.
Palate: The syrupy fruit continues and there's more marshmallow too, but there’s also a dryness and lots of cereal notes.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) is part of the Atom Group, which also owns the UK retailer Master of Malt and a number of other subsidiaries. They are a dynamic and innovative firm, who by example invented the Whisky Advent Calendar concept. Established in 2012, TBWC is famous for its playful and colourful labels, which often feature prominent whisky industry figures, tell a story, and or elude to an inside joke. The labels are typically laced with hidden elements and "Easter Eggs."
TBWC bottles whiskies from around the world, though the bulk of their offerings are of Scottish origin. Most of their offerings are small-batch releases, Blended Malts, and Blends. Their "Head of Whisky" is Canadian Sam Simmons.
We are big fans of not only their whimsical labels but also the consistently high standard of liquid they bottle.
