A straightforward, nutty and malty single malt from Speyside, the Singleton of Dufftown was released to replace the Singleton of Auchroisk. It’s aged in a high proportion of European oak casks.
If you're looking to use this little stunner in a cocktail, then you could do a lot worse than making a classic Highball. You can find a recipe for one right here.
Malty with cereal/barley sweetness, buttery toast, wood shavings, hay and walnut.
Orange zest spiciness perks up a malty core of nuts, oak and toffee, hints of cut grass.
Oaky, rich with good length, some fruit lingers.

I got this for Christmas from my mother….. no doubt a special offer buy from the supermarket. Not good at all, like paint stripper. I can’t give this away! Leave the whisky choices to me damn it. I am an 18 yo kind of guy, you really can tell the difference in a premium whisky and this. However, the gesture was nice. As a side note, any of the Speysides from Aldi are fantastic and much cheaper.
This Whisky was, on special offer at, twenty five quid in Waitrose. It is similar to 12 year old Glenlivet, but perhaps a little more ‘oaky’, They both have that rather - ‘pear drops and Calvados with a bit of spice’ - effect, which I enjoy. It is in no way harsh, but a teaspoon of water renders it very smooth indeed. If you want peat and smoke (which I don’t) go elsewhere. I like it. It suits my pocket. If it is still the same price when I have finished this bottle I shall certainly buy another. Best wishes to all.
Absolute rubbish, best avoided. Got a sample along with my delivery. The tasting notes suggested it as a cocktail mixer probably explains it better than I could.
An easy drinking drop of nectar. Not too harsh, but still a whisky with character. In my opinion it tastes as good as , or better , than some more than twice it's price. Speyside rules
Along with Old Pulteney 12 this has to be one of the worst 12 years olds on the market. Bland and completely uninspiring
