Mossburn Distillers & Blenders is a brand new Scotch whisky project owned by Marussia Beverage which is part of the empire controlled by Swedish billionaire Frederik Paulsen. The company is headquartered at Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders on the site of the former Jedforest Hotel. Their new distillery, called Reivers Distillery, will be one of the first new distilleries to be built in the Borders for over 150 years. Mossburn have also established Torabhaig Distillery on the Isle of Skye, which opened in 2017 (the second distillery on Skye after Highland Park). The parent company also own the Kaikyo Distillery in Japan which produces Hatozaki whiskies. Not content with this, they have also created the peaty Caisteal Chamuis whisky range. The first Mossburn bottlings were released in 2017.

Building a whisky distillery and waiting for whisky to come online (the spirit has to be aged for at least 3 years before it can even be called whisky) is a long term project. So, in the meantime, Mossburn have started the ball rolling by bottling a small collection of ever-changing single malt whiskies and two permanent blended malts, an Island and Speyside, with bespoke cask bills. There are also some very limited occasional single cask bottlings.

The Macduff Distillery sits is located in the seaside town of the same name on the banks of the River Deveron, next to the Moray Firth. It is a modern distillery, built in 1960, and the whisky produced here is normally bottled as Glen Deveron or The Deveron, a popular brand in Italy. The spirit made here has a beautiful nutty character and good weight. The owners of the distillery are John Dewar & Sons, a subsidiary of Bacardi.

Mossburn Vintage Casks No 29 Macduff was distilled in 2007 and bottled as a 14 year old whisky.

Bottled at a cask strength of 56.4% ABV without any colouring or chill filtration.
