Product Information

What I find curious about this expression is that I can't find much objectively wrong with it - it is, after all, inexpensive and, from the marketing and advertising, I deduce it's aimed at new whisky drinkers - but somehow for very subjective reasons I really don't like it. Well... some 6 years later I still have about a quarter of the bottle left. After a few trials and errors I found the best recipe to utilise this whisky - Marie-Helene's apple cake: Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). The nose is very unobtrusive, pleasantly sweet and fresh with a taste which is velvety soft, almost sweet.

The Singleton Of Dufftown 12 Year Old - How good is it?

It is like that person you are introduced to (usually at work) who’s name instantly does out of your head and you’ve totally forgotten five seconds after they’ve walked away or left the room. Nose: One reviewer rather pejoratively commented that it was like 'chewing a handful pencil-shavings with marshmallows' and although this is somewhat OTT, the nose does remind me of pencil-shavings. It's certainly very woody with perhaps a hint of sweet hay and malt. There's a touch more sweetness coming through with the addition of a tiny amount of water. Smell: Lots of classic Speyside fruits at first. There’s apple, pear and citrus – both orange and lemon. Aromatic cinnamon spice. Hobnob biscuits. My high school woodwork classroom! Caramel and honeycomb. Perhaps a touch of peach. You are responsible for all activities through your account.

The Scotch has little that disturbs, but also nothing that stands out. Nose: Bubble gum. Dense fruit punch aromas, Red Vines, and a hint of anise.

Singleton of Dufftown 12 Year Old - The Whisky Exchange

A superb alternative for the glenfiddich 12 or the Bushmills 10, if you can get it for under 25 Euros. Fill a highball glass with cubed ice. Add The Singleton and stir over ice for five seconds. Add soda and gently stir for three seconds. Garnish with a fresh slice of orange. The town housed seven distilleries at one time. Such density of distillation inspired the slogan “Rome was built on seven hills but Dufftown stands on seven stills”. The seven were Mortlach, Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Convalmore, Parkmore, Glendullan and Dufftown itself. Finish: There's a nice amount of sweetness and fruitiness in the finish. The fire of the first sip falls away with a very nice mouth-filling sweetness but it's lamentably short. Bit of burnt toffee at the end. Don’t get me wrong, this is not bad but it is certainly not good either, it’s just bland (I think you get the message). It’s as flat as the bottle it comes in.Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law.

Built in 1897, the last of seven distilleries founded in Dufftown, Glendullan was the brainchild of blenders from Aberdeen by the name of William Williams and sons.

Bell’s was later absorbed by DCL and Dufftown joined their impressive portfolio of distilleries. Though it continued to produce spirit for use in blends, Dufftown as a single malt would soon have its moment in the sun. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie.The Dufftown distillery first drew water from Highlandman John’s Well in 1896 and continues to do so to this day. Taste: Again very bland, at the risk of repeating myself (oops too late) it tastes of…well…whisky and not much else. There’s a very, very, very slight liquorice tinge and the last moment. There is no reason to spend money on this 12-year-old, and no reason to drink it. It is inoffensive and clinical, alcohol in distilled water, like from a lab. The tiniest trace of flavour; zero personality of any kind. The Dufftown range includes 12, 15 and 18-year-old expressions and there have been various no-age-statement releases including Tailfire and Spey Cascade. I find myself drinking more and more just to get that second or two of pleasure in the finish, but the roughness/wood-shaving aspect of the palate is drying my mouth and making it harder to enjoy that fleeting sweetness.
