About This Whisky
The Singleton of Dufftown 17 Year Old from Diageo's 2020 Special Releases. It was the first official Singleton of Dufftown matured entirely in refill American oak hogsheads, bottled at a natural cask strength of 55.1% ABV without chill filtration.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Mellow honeycomb and spun honey, a trace of beeswax, dry grasses and fresh orchard fruit on an earthy base.
- Palate: Creamy-smooth and coating, sweet and intense at full strength, with honey, vanilla custard and apple.
- Finish: Quite long and warming, with white pepper turning to a gentle chilli tingle; a drop of water calms the spice.
Serving & Food
At 55.1% it is worth reducing a little. It pairs with apple crumble, pork belly with apple sauce, or a young, creamy Wensleydale.
