Distillery/Bottler:

Dufftown Distillery was established in 1896 on the site of a former mill in the Speyside village of the same name. It was acquired by Arthur Bell & Sons in 1933, and its stillhouse was expanded from the original two stills to eight over the course of its history. Much of its spirit has traditionally been destined for blends.

Artful Dodger Whisky Collective selected the whisky from Bourbon barrel no. 700203 for this limited single-cask bottling. The independent bottler focuses on rare, hard-to-find casks released at full cask strength in limited editions.
