The Singleton of Dufftown 18 Year Old whisky

The sublimely smooth Singleton of Dufftown 18-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured in a high proportion of American oak casks, with a small portion of European oak casks to balance the liquid.

The result is smooth, sublime and full of character notes of sweet, stewed fruits, sumptuous berries, dark toffee and silky honey.

From gently malting flavourful barley to painstakingly balancing different casks for ultimate smoothness. The result is in your hand, an award-winning whisky known for being delicious from the very first sip.

Serving Suggestion: Serve on the rocks and let the ice melt a little to open up aromas.

Tasting notes

APPEARANCE
Deep amber; most attractive, good texture.

BODY
Great mouthfeel: light to medium body, softly coating the tongue.

NOSE
Soft, inviting, dry, and autumnal. Sweet, stewed fruits (apricot preserve), ripe autumn apples, and rich berry fruits. Soon, roasted nuts; hazelnut, walnut. Wood Scented too; dry tea-leaves, fresh-cut pine resin. The fruits soften, revealing rich vanilla and toffee over chocolate and caramel. This smoothness is finely balanced by subtle cereal; neither overpowering nor cloying. A little water restores the appetizing fruit: blackberries, pears in syrup. Vanilla and polished wood too.

PALATE
Firm to full. Again dry and sweet, gently dominated by nuts, dark toffee, and gentle mint, before the fruits return as rhubarb and apple juice. Becomes deep and mouth-coating; a hint of almond biscuit, then woody, light spiciness. Late dryness with a rich, silky cocoa bitterness, growing spicy. The fruits darken and run sweetly below. Water cools things; softer and less rich now, dominated by the sweet fruit. Very subtle mint and liquorice toffee notes.

FINISH
Sweetness softly introduces a longer, drying oakiness. Stewed-fruit freshness. Wood-smoke spiced with faint black pepper.
