About Macduff Distillery

Macduff distillery, located in Macduff in the Highland whisky region, was founded in 1960 by Macduff Distillers Ltd. 

In 1972, the distillery was acquired by William Lawson Distillers Ltd., which later became part of the Martini & Rossi corporation in 1980. This change in ownership brought Macduff under the management of a global beverage industry leader, enhancing its production capabilities. In 1992, Martini & Rossi was acquired by the Bacardi Corporation, which subsequently placed its subsidiary John Dewar & Sons in charge of the Macduff distillery. 

Today, John Dewar & Sons continues to manage the distillery, with Macduff’s single malts being a key component in popular blends such as William Lawson’s.

Macduff is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.

Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.

Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value.


Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
