The Singleton of Dufftown 15 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Dufftown Distillery in Speyside, Scotland. Aged for 15 years in a blend of American and European oak casks, it delivers a more mature style than younger expressions in The Singleton range. Its production emphasizes balance: fruitiness, oak influence and malt character are all present without dominating.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Deep amber-gold, warm and lustrous in the glass with moderate legs
-
Aroma: Toffee apples and honeycomb, ripe orchard fruit (pear, apple), subtle vanilla and a gentle oak-spice edge
-
Palate: Smooth and rounded; sweet malt foundation with notes of fruit salad, creamy caramel/toffee, soft oak, some spicy and floral highlights
-
Finish: Drying but pleasant; pears, digestive biscuit, a whisper of aniseed and lingering oak spice
-
ABV: 40%
Serving Suggestions: Best enjoyed neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass, allowing a few minutes for aroma to open. You can add a drop of water to soften oak influence. Pairs nicely with desserts like crème brûlée or apple tart, or mature cheeses and roasted nuts.
