At the mouth of the River Deveron, where the river meets the restless Moray Firth, lies a distillery shaped by the sea and softened by the land. The Deveron 18 Year Old carries the calm, coastal soul of Macduff Distillery, matured through long Highland winters and sea-salted breezes. It’s a dram for those who appreciate quiet depth, less about shouting for attention, more about rewarding patience with layers of character.
