Portrait: What makes the Macduff 13 year old Cadenhead's Original Collection special

The Macduff 13 year old from the Cadenhead's Original Collection comes from a relatively young Highland distillery, founded in 1960 in response to the post-war whisky boom. The distillery is picturesquely situated on the coast, directly on the River Deveron and close to the Moray Firth - and it is precisely this maritime environment that is subtly reflected in the character of this single malt.

An elegant Highland whisky that harmoniously combines classic fruit and grain notes – perfect for connoisseurs of mild, smooth malts.

Tasting Notes: This is what Macduff 13 year old Cadenhead's Original Collection tastes like

• Nose: Fresh and fruity with clear aromas of green apple, honeydew melon, and gooseberries - a delicate sweetness of Demerara sugar resonates, rounded off by a floral hint of heather, which lends the bouquet a fine, natural lightness.
• Palate: Smooth and balanced with a pleasant fruit sweetness - the palate reveals ripe pears, buttery biscuits (digestives), and a comforting hint of warm golden syrup. The texture is soft, almost creamy, with an elegant interplay of malt and sweetness.
• Finish: Medium-long, smooth, and charming - impressions of lemon biscuit, vanilla, and a buttery cereal note characterize the finish. A touch of whipped cream smoothly rounds off the experience. from

Cadenhead - Scotland's oldest independent bottler

Founded in 1842 in Aberdeen, William Cadenhead is Scotland's oldest independent bottler - an institution with almost two centuries of whisky history. Since 1972, the traditional company has been part of the respected J & A Mitchell & Co. Ltd., which also operates the famous Springbank and Glengyle distilleries in Campbeltown. The connection to Campbeltown - once known as the "Whisky Capital of the World" - is stronger than ever: All Cadenhead bottlings are matured and bottled there, guaranteeing not only short transport routes but also full control over quality. Cadenhead stands for uncompromising transparency and craftsmanship. The focus is not on marketing or packaging, but on what counts: "It's what's inside the bottle that counts." Cadenhead carefully selects its casks and attaches great importance to preserving the original character of each distillery. Whether Highland, Speyside, Islay, or Lowlands, each bottling is designed to clearly reflect the characteristics of its origin. Chill filtration and coloring are avoided to ensure an authentic taste experience.

With a broad portfolio of single malts, blended malts, and rarities, Cadenhead is an integral part of the Scottish whisky landscape - and a guarantee of quality, honesty, and passion in the glass.
