The Singleton of Glendullan 38 Year Old 1976 (Special Release 2014)
2014 marks the first time the Singleton of Glendullan has been released as part of Diageo's Special Release. Exciting stuff, especially considering this is a 38 year old single malt, matured in re-fill European oak casks, bottled at an impressive 59.8% ABV. 3,756 bottles were produced.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Vanilla toffee oak, geranium, grasses, some white pepper and fresh vanilla. (The aforementioned Toby was upset I didn't initially include his note of the night here: pencil shavings akin to a demerara rum.)
Palate
Warming up front before relaxing entirely with waxy, gentle oak notes, a touch of melon and some venerable wood spices.
Finish
Salivating oakiness.
Overall
A nice old chap of a whisky, it's aged oak note-driven and it's done very well.
