MACDUFF 16 ans 2008 Sherry Cask Hidden Spirit

This Macduff, distilled in 2008 and aged for 16 years in a sherry cask, was bottled by Hidden Spirits at its natural strength. This Highland single malt offers a rich and elegant expression, where the depth of the sherry cask enhances the distillery’s naturally fruity and slightly coastal character. Notes of dark chocolate, caramelised nuts, and ripe orchard fruits unfold, supported by subtle hints of spice and sea breeze. Founded in 1960 near the fishing port of Macduff, on Scotland’s northeast coast, the distillery produces a robust and characterful spirit, often used in blends such as The Deveron. When bottled as a single malt, it reveals a distinctive balance between maritime freshness, malty sweetness, and sherried richness — a profile both generous and refined. Hidden Spirits is an independent Italian bottler founded in 2013 by Andrea Ferrari, based in Ferrara. Its philosophy is centred on the careful selection of unique casks chosen for their authenticity and balance. Each release, often from a single cask and bottled without chill filtration or colouring, showcases the whisky’s natural integrity. Hidden Spirits has quickly gained recognition among enthusiasts for its precision, honesty, and elegant Italian touch, highlighting the diversity and craftsmanship of Scotch whisky.
