Tasting Profile

Nose:
Green pear, honey-drizzled oats, and fresh meadow flowers with a hint of lemon peel. A breezy, orchard-fresh profile that feels like spring in a glass.

Palate:
Light and energetic. Creamy malt, vanilla, soft citrus, and white peach dance over a silky body. Hints of shortbread and malted biscuit add a soft sweetness and structure.

Finish:
Clean and crisp. Lingering notes of apple skin, grain, and soft spice leave a refreshing, mouthwatering close.

Production Details

Distilled at Miltonduff, one of Speyside’s most under-the-radar workhorse distilleries, this 7-year-old single malt is part of Douglas Laing’s Provenance range, highlighting cask individuality and regional character. Bottled from a single refill hogshead, with no chill filtration or added coloring, it delivers authenticity from cask to glass.

Perfect For

Those who love Speyside’s lighter, fruitier side. A brilliant first dram of the night, ideal for aperitif-style sipping or as a reference point in any regional tasting lineup. Also a perfect choice for whisky drinkers moving beyond core age-stated blends and into the world of single cask nuance.

Expert Notes

Miltonduff’s natural style, crisp, grassy, and delicately floral shines especially well in refill cask maturation, where the wood steps back and the malt steps forward. This Provenance release is a snapshot of that purity in youthful form, approachable, vibrant, and honest.

Interesting Fact

Miltonduff is one of the backbone malts in Ballantine’s blends, prized for its soft fruit and floral notes. Rarely seen as a single malt, this 7-year-old bottling gives you a rare look at its true character, stripped of blending and aged with clarity.

Serving Suggestions

Sip neat to enjoy its bright orchard fruit profile. A splash of water will open up citrus and malt notes even more. Try it with almond biscotti or soft goat cheese for a delicate, balanced pairing.

Distillery Background

Founded in 1824 on the site of an old Benedictine abbey, Miltonduff Distillery is a quiet cornerstone of Speyside production. Known for clean, floral spirit and consistent quality, it plays a supporting role in many blends but as this Provenance 7 Year Old proves, it more than deserves a solo spotlight.
