A fabulous expression from the Singleton of Dufftown in a stunning limited edition.

If someone asks if you like Singleton Single Malt Whisky, the correct response is, “Which one?”There are three: The Singleton of Glendullan, The Singleton of Glen Ord, and The Singleton of Dufftown. Each distillery is awesome in its own way. All are Highlanders, all are used in premium blends, all have versions of The Singleton, and each has their own Single Malt brand as well. Two are Speyside, and one Glen Ord is Ross-shire. Some say the distinction is all marketing spin we disagree. We love them all, but there is something about the limestone-filtered spring water in Ross-shire. Growth has been phenomenal, and parent Diageo envisions The Singleton becoming a first tier Single Malt producer along with Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, and Macallan.

Industry giant Diageo made up eight special, limited edition Single Malt releases for 2020, and Singleton of Dufftown 17 Year Old might be ourfavorite of the lot.

The Singleton of Dufftown is in Speyside, sitting just upstream from Mortlach. And thats what you have here a Speysider with all the delicate, fruit-forward notes you want in a dram of this character. Its been aged in refill American oak hogshead casks for seventeen years and bottled at the natural cask strength of 55.1% ABV. Its a stunner, so get come while you can.
