Miltonduff
Situated six miles southwest of Elgin is Pluscarden Abbey. Initially a Priory, it was founded by King Alexander II in 1230. The Miltonduff distillery is said to be situated on the site of the Abbey's meal mill and one of the original stones from the Abbey is still proudly on display.
The Miltonduff expressions bottled by G&M demonstrate the extreme versatility of this excellent Speysider: rich spicy, dark honey notes can be found in the Cask Strength Collection of bottlings.
One other fascinating fact is that From 1967 until 1981, Miltonduff also produced another single malt called Mosstowie, using a Lomond still.
