Built in 1960 at the height of the post-war boom, Macduff stands where the River Deveron meets the Moray Firth, and most of what it makes still disappears into William Lawson's blend. Under its own name it travels as The Deveron, a clean, malty, gently fruity coastal Highlander that rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. Part of the Dewar's family (Bacardi).
