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.

A very good malt - that`s for sure. Was able to compare it with my 2 favourite mainland malts which also arrived this Christmastime (which I won`t list). I preferred it, finding it smooth and just that little bit different to deserve its new position on top of my favourite list!
Excellent, delicate malt and oak flavours, and neither overpowering nor peaty. Ignore the boorish oafs with their 1 star reviews. These are submitted by armchair whisky "experts" with a singular taste in whisky. You know the type, the ones that only rate "punch you in the face" peaty whiskies. They complain it's bland or lacking in flavour because they are inured to the flavour of peat. If you like Lagavulin, you're probably not going to like this. If you don't like Lagavulin you probably will. It's as simple as that. Not all whisky should taste the same.
So, I’ve been on the hunt for a budget scotch (daily sipper)? I like my single malts above 43% preferably 46% and above. But they’re expensive in B.C Canada! So I have narrowed it down between this one, glenlevit 12, glenfiddich 12, aberfeldy 12, tomatin legacy and maybe monkey shoulder. This one is 54$ Canadian so 2$ more than tomatin and the monkey.....11$ cheaper then the glens. This one is about as good as it gets for the category! Tastes almost identical to glenlevit 12 for 10$ cheaper. I think I found my new cheap daily dram ;) I think it’s a new bottling though, label is teal blue.....not sure why all the negative reviews either?
Afortunadamente podemos obtenerlo en México y es accesible. Su presentación no es llamativa pero es diferente. Un vez que lees su etiqueta recibes la invitación a desgustarlo.
I am a single malt lover and generally enjoyed my Lagavulin and Laphroiag while I lived in the UK, but these are not often on offer in Calgary where I now live. I saw this whisky on offer in a Calgary liquor store for $32.99, so I thought I would give it a try. While I was expecting to be a mild easy drinking single malt, I was not expecting that it would be devoid of flavour. There was no note and it tasted no different than a cheap blended whisky. It might be OK if someone has never tasted a single malt and want to be introduced to it, but even then I would takethem straight to a Glenfiddich for this to do service to single malt. All in all, I would not recommend this whisky.
