Product Info
The Singleton Dufftown, the first of its kind, is a limited release featuring an exceptional "all-refill cask" design. This single malt, matured for 17 years in refill American oak hogsheads, highlights the fresh, spring-like character of this malt. The Singleton is renowned for its smoothness and balance, reminiscent of the vibrant, energetic salmon leaping from the fast-flowing rivers of the Scottish Highlands. The Singleton Dufftown is particularly renowned for its elegant herbaceous, fruity aromas and flavors. The smooth aroma is typical of a Speyside malt, with a honeycomb-like sweetness on the palate, followed by a floral, grassy, earthy aroma reminiscent of hay, and a subtle fruitiness. The texture is creamy and smooth, enveloping, and the palate is sweet, rich, and perfectly balanced. The finish is warm and dry, with a peppery spiciness. Serving suggestion: The first release from fully refilled American oak casks, this whisky combines the smooth character of The Singleton Dufftown Distillery with a spicier expression, with the addition of a little water bringing out the signature herbaceous fruit notes.
