Archive Details
A Mature Highland Travel Retail Release
Glen Deveron 16 Year Old is a mature Highland single malt produced at Macduff Distillery and released for the travel retail market as part of the Royal Burgh Collection. Bottled at 40% ABV in a one-litre format, the whisky was matured with generous amounts of fine sherry oak casks, bringing additional fruit and richness to the distillery’s character.

About the Bottling
Released for the travel retail market, the Glen Deveron Royal Burgh Collection draws its identity from the historic Royal Burgh of Banff, situated beside the River Deveron and close to Macduff Distillery. The 16 Year Old was selected from the distillery’s reserves and matured with a significant proportion of sherry oak casks, producing a mature Highland malt centred on fruit, cereal sweetness, and a smooth, mellow finish. Its one-litre presentation reflects its original travel retail positioning and makes it a distinctive age-stated expression from Glen Deveron’s official range.
About the Distillery
Macduff Distillery stands near the River Deveron on Scotland’s north-east Highland coast. While the distillery itself is known as Macduff, its official single malt has long been associated with the Glen Deveron name. This dual identity, together with the distillery’s coastal setting near the historic town of Banff, gives older Glen Deveron releases a distinctive place among less commonly encountered official Highland bottlings.
