The Twelve That Starts It All
The 12 Year Old launched alongside the 18 as the range's opening age statement in 2015 — the first taste most people get of Macduff Distillery's unusual, lyne-arm-kinked stills. It's lighter and brighter than its older sibling: toasted grain and apples with a seaborne spice that nods to the distillery's coastal position.

Tasting Notes
Nose: sweet baking spice, toffee apples, ginger, toasted grain and apples. Palate: butterscotch with waxy malt and apple pie, raisins, vanilla, light cinnamon. Finish: wood spice, vanilla, soft oakiness.
How to Enjoy
Neat, on the rocks, or in a craft cocktail — the brand's own serving notes cover all three. A splash of water coaxes out the orchard fruit.
