History
[edit]The Macduff Distillery Company was founded in 1960 by the Macduff Distillers Ltd.[1] In 1972, Macduff was acquired by William Lawson Distillers.[2] It became part of the Martini & Rossi corporation in 1980.[3]
In 1992, Martini & Rossi were acquired by the Bacardi Corporation. Bacardi put their subsidiary John Dewar & Sons in charge of the Macduff distillery.[4] Macduff is a major component in their blends like William Lawson.[1]
The distillery produces single malt whisky called "The Deveron" as 10, 12 and 18 year old expressions.[5] It supports local groups such as the Portsoy 75 Club.[6]
