Berry Bros & Rudd 2009 Macduff Cask No. 700443 12 Year Old 51.9%
This subtle Highlander initially offers charming aromas of malted barley and austere green fruits, as is often the way however a little time in the glass allows this whisky to open up and notes of manuka honey, lemon oil and cedar appear. The distillate’s fruity character dominates the palate bringing orange, underripe peach, green wine gums and honeyed toast. The finish shows waves of wood spice and a touch of vanilla. Macduff Distillery, located in Macduff town, sits on the shore of the Deveron Estuary. The town’s harbour became home to herring fleets, the mainstay of the town’s economy. The distillery is relatively modern, having being built in 1960.
Filey Bay Porter Cask Special Release Single Malt
Life for this special release started out as two casks, an ex-PX and ex-bourbon cask that went on to live as their Sherry Cask Reserve #2 and part of their Flagship whiskies. These two whisky soaked casks were refilled with Wold Top Brewery's Marmalade Porter and then tucked away to mature for 14 months. Once disgorged it was refilled with a full term ex-bourbon matured whisky from 2018 and tucked away on the farm for finishing. Each step of this whisky's maturation brought new notes to the final product. Sweetness from the ex-PX cask, vanilla from the ex-bourbon cask and orange chocolate with malt from the Porter have all woven wonderfully into the Filey bay signature light and fruity house style.
