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.

My new favourite whisky- light fruity with a lovely finish
Thank you for the unexpected and free 50cl sample with my latest order, nevertheless my review is my honest and unbiased opinion. This 12yo single malt whisky, at 40% alcohol, is harsh on the palate, lacking in subtlety, and has no discernible complexity on a remarkably short finish. I would recommend it as a cocktail mixer.
This reminded me a lot of Balvenie. Raisiny, quite dry, a little nutty. I'm baffled by all the hate in the negative reviews. There are some awful blends out there and some very underwhelming single malts but this is a far cry from either. It might not be to your taste but it's a solid whisky and very good value for £25 or less.
At this price it rates very highly. Sweet and fruity notes lend to an exceptionaly smooth finish. If you prefer peatier, eathier single malts then this is not for you. I personally wouldnt waste it with a mixer. It's a whisky you can drink more than you intended to very easily.
I bought 200ml today, I finished it but.. this is not a single malt you would be happy with. Some strange flavours going on, but outside of that. Very basic single malt with low flavour contrast. Whiskybase rates it 74% avg, don't know what the youtuber's feel about it but.. skip this.
