Bottle #マクダフ(MACDUFF)
I don't recall any missing labels on this bottle. MacDuff MACDUFF OB 40% Circulated in the 1980s The aroma has a good old feel, with gentle barley and aged white wine, grapefruit. Upon drinking, it has a soft mouthfeel, with lemon, roasted barley and its umami deeply lingering on the tongue. It has a honey-like sweetness but is slightly dry, with oak and a clean finish. [Good/Very Good] This MacDuff, labeled as Glenlivet, was circulated in the 1980s. It has an overall light transparency and a good old feel, with fruity notes of citrus and white grape, as well as a rich umami that lingers on the tongue. It is a bottle full of delicious standard qualities, worth sipping continuously. It seems like you could drink this without any stress. I have the image that all MacDuff bottles labeled as Glenlivet from this period are full of depth and never get boring to drink. As Mr. Michael Jackson wrote, this is a distillery worth getting to know thoroughly.
