Singleton of Dufftown Malt Master's Selection
Dufftown
Tasting Notes
A delightful expression from the Singleton of Dufftown, this Malt Master's Selection is a harmonious blend of whisky matured in ex-wine, ex-sherry, and ex-bourbon casks. On the nose, it captivates with soft orchard fruit esters that unfold into boiled apple candies, complemented by hints of white pepper, golden syrup, buttered bread, and a touch of marzipan icing. The slightly oily palate offers a delightful interplay of rich toffee, vanilla, and a suggestion of pear drops, while a grassy undertone and vibrant spice add a youthful vibrancy. As the spice dissipates, the finish lingers with notes of vanilla and a subtle wood ash character, leaving a lasting impression of refinement and balance. Masterfully crafted by Craig Wilson, this whisky is an excellent introduction to the world of single malts, showcasing the distillery's expertise in marrying diverse cask influences into a harmonious and approachable dram.
