Alexander Murray Macduff 2002 17 year 750 ml

This is a 17-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from Macduff Distillery, a lesser-known Speyside-area distillery whose output mostly goes into blends, independently bottled by Alexander Murray & Co. rather than distilled and released under the distillery's own name. Independent bottlings like this one let whisky drinkers taste a distillery's character in its more unadulterated form, without the house style typically applied by an official distillery bottling. From the 2002 vintage, expect malty, honeyed notes with light oak development typical of a mid-length Speyside maturation.

How to drink this Macduff 17 Year

Neat or with a small splash of water is the best way to taste an independent single-cask or small-batch bottling like this, since the whole appeal is experiencing the distillery's character without heavy dilution or added color.
