The Flagship of the Last Great Malts
The Deveron is the official bottling of Macduff Distillery, relaunched in September 2015 as part of John Dewar & Sons' "Last Great Malts" collection. The distillery's five small stills and unusual horizontal condensers produce a light, fruity spirit; eighteen years of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry cask sleep turn it into rich, creamy vanilla and sherry-infused fruit cake.

Tasting Notes
Smooth and aromatic — rich, creamy vanilla with poached pears, apples, and ripe mango, giving way to sherry-infused fruit cake plump with vine fruits and almonds. Fruity depths and nutty notes; the finish runs raisin and crushed nuts, medium-drying.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water to open the sherry cask fruit. This is an after-dinner malt.
