Sitting on a rocky headland across the River Deveron from Banff is the fishing port of Macduff. Like Banff it also gives its name to a distillery.

Established in the early 1960s by a consortium of Glasgow-based whiskybrokers and businessmen, the distillery was designed by renowned engineer William Delme-Evans.

Originally a highly sought after component of several blends, MacDuff is comprised of two wash stills and three spirit stills, producing a delicate, relatively light and fruity whisky, full of orchard fruit, vanilla notes and honey.
