Description
Singleton 12 of Dufftown, a straightforward, nutty and malty single malt from Speyside. The Singleton of Dufftown was released to replace the Singleton of Auchroisk. It’s aged in a high proportion of European oak casks.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep gold, polished mahogany highlights.
Nose: Approachable and rich. First polished wood and nuts (toasted hazelnut) dominate, then rich fruits, both stewed (baked apples) and dried (sweet dates) take over, with soft brown sugar. Behind this, a stick of liquorice. Mossy. Water brings out a sweeter, more direct Speyside character (citrus fruits, pear drops!). Clean and dense. After a while, warm, dry aromas of pencil shavings or match-sticks.
Body: Smooth. Medium.
Palate: Sweetness and crunchy nuts impress at first, then there’s a smooth, fruity Speyside richness to enjoy. Firm, with a balancing sweetness: hints of blackcurrant fruit, brown sugar and espresso coffee. Warming and pleasant. With water, still a pleasant texture. Light sweetness, then chewy and balanced by a light acidity, with a good spread of flavours mid-palate.
Finish: Medium to long. Elegantly drying and crisp; then a sweetly nutty delayed warmth, which lingers pleasantly.
What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about Singleton 12 of Dufftown
Quote 1 ：’’I can’t think of a whisky that is as carefully balanced as this one. It’s not too vague, but also not too pronounced. It manages to keep you in the ‘sweet spot’. It never bores, never disappoints, never offends. By far THE best bang-for-your-buck whisky out there!‘’
Quote 2 ：‘’This is a wonderful scotch, rich and smooth with lovely texture. the taste and more so the after taste leaves you wanting for more. Since not many people have tried it yet its fun to introduce it to them. Enjoyed my last with a cohiba on a cold saturday evening.‘’
Quote 3：‘’Love it. Smooth whisky. I don’t need to pretend I can taste something complex. Reading some of the comments is like a roll call of pretentious whisky snobs. I can imagine these bores forcing people into a coma telling you about all the imaginary flavours they can and can’t taste or smell. At the end of the day it is a flavoured spirit.‘’
