Miltonduff The Octave 2011 Single Malt Whisky

Miltonduff Distillery, established in 1824 shortly after the Excise Act of 1823, is a Speyside single malt whisky distillery located near Elgin, Scotland. Originally an illicit operation, it transitioned to legal status under the ownership of Andrew Peary and Robert Bain. The distillery draws its exceptionally pure water from the Black Burn, a tributary of the River Lossie, and utilizes locally renowned barley from the fertile Moray region. Known for its elegant, fruity Speyside character with floral notes and subtle spice, Miltonduff's production primarily supports premium blends, most notably Ballantine's, though limited official bottlings and select independent releases showcase its refined profile. Currently owned by Pernod Ricard through Chivas Brothers, the distillery maintains traditional craftsmanship while operating six copper pot stills.
