Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried fruit, honey, a gentle oak warmth. Fifteen years provide genuine maturity. Beneath the oak, vanilla, dried apricot and a gentle warmth. More interesting than the 12.

Palate

Sherried and mature — dried fruit, honey, a gentle warmth. The fifteen years and European sherry cask influence add genuine depth. Mid-palate brings toffee, a gentle spice and a clean sweetness.

Finish

Medium, with dried fruit and gentle warmth.

The Singleton of Dufftown 15 Year Old serves the European market with a sherried, fruit-forward Speyside malt. Fifteen years of maturation — including a significant proportion of European oak sherry casks — give it genuine maturity and richness.

The fifteen years upgrade the Singleton concept from accessible to genuinely interesting. The sherry influence adds dried fruit and spice, and the additional maturation provides a depth that the 12 Year Old cannot match.

Singleton of Dufftown 15 is a well-made sherried Speyside at a fair price. The genuine maturity and sherry influence create a whisky worth serious attention.
