The Singleton of Dufftown is distilled in the Dufftown
distillery of Speyside, one of the largest in Scotland, where fine single malts
have been produced since 1896. The unmistakable taste of The Singleton comes
from a unique selection of European Oak casks that bring rich fruit aromas and
American Oak casks that release honeyed hints of vanilla.
Appearance: Rich amber, polished mahogany highlights.
Body: Medium to full bodied.
Nose: 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.
Palate: 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.
Finish: Medium to long, elegantly drying and crisp,
completed by a pleasant, sweetly nutty chew-ability.
