The Singleton Of Dufftown 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl
The Singleton of Dufftown is distilled at the Dufftown distillery in Speyside, the heart of Scottish malt whisky production. Whisky has been distilled at the distillery since 1896, and from fermentation to distillation we do our utmost to ensure that every drop is of the highest quality. The Singleton of Dufftown has an aroma of roasted nuts with rich fruit, with notes of blackcurrant, brown sugar and coffee on the palate - before an elegantly drying and crisp finish. The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Year Old has the right flavor profile for malt whisky novices due to its smooth, rich and approachable taste. Serving suggestion: Best served neat to enjoy the full, rich fruit and vanilla notes.
Approachable and rich. First polished wood and nuts (toasted hazelnut) dominate, then stewed fruits (baked apples), dried fruits (sweet dates), and soft brown sugar take over. Mossy too, after a while. With water, a sweeter, more direct Speyside character develops (pure pear drops!). Clean and dense. After a while, warm, dry, aromas, of pencil shavings or match-sticks.
Medium to full bodied.
Sweetness and crunchy nuts impress at first, then there’s a smooth, fruity Speyside richness to enjoy. Firm, with a balancing sweetness. Brown sugar and espresso coffee. Warming and pleasant. With water, still a pleasant texture. Light sweetness, then chewy and balanced by light acidity, with a good spread of flavours mid-palate.
Medium to long, elegantly drying and crisp, completed by a pleasant, sweetly nutty chew-ability.
