Dufftown
Tasting Notes
Imagine a warm summer evening, strolling through an orchard in full bloom. The Singleton of Dufftown 17 Year Old Special Release 2020 captures the essence of that experience in liquid form. On the nose, it beckons with the fragrance of wildflowers mingling with the sweetness of ripe pears and crisp apples, drizzled with honey and touched by the earthy aroma of freshly cut hay. The palate is a delightful blend of smooth, creamy textures reminiscent of shea butter and beeswax, complemented by the flavors of honey, milk chocolate, vanilla custard, and apple crumble, with a hint of raspberries adding a touch of tartness. Despite its gentle character, the finish lingers with a surprising warmth, as a soft chili note emerges to liven up the experience. Matured exclusively in refill American oak hogsheads, this single malt whisky from Singleton of Dufftown offers a harmonious interplay of floral malt, runny honey, cream soda, and vanilla pod earthiness, making it a truly remarkable expression of the distillery's craft.
