Portrait: What makes The Singleton of Dufftown 12 year old special

Who says whisky always has to be rough, peaty, and mysterious like a misty morning in the Highlands? The Singleton of Dufftown 12 year old proves the opposite - it's the charming gentleman among single malts: approachable, balanced, and always well-dressed.

Origin? Scotland, of course - more specifically, Dufftown, the quiet heart of Speyside whisky country. Where there are more distilleries than sheep, this single malt is crafted with love, experience, and a healthy dose of patience.

In the heart of Scotland's Speyside - where the water is clear, the hills are green, and the sheep are relaxed—lies Dufftown, the unofficial whisky capital of the world. And it's precisely here that a true charmer is born in the glass: The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Year Old.

The Singleton brand stands for whiskies that you can understand, even without a whisky diploma. No smoky intimidation, no cryptic labels - simply honest Scottish single malt, the kind your mother-in-law would try (and probably like).

It's produced with a great deal of craftsmanship, experience, and the soft waters of the River Dullan - that doesn't just sound romantic, it is. The distillery itself has been around since 1896, which means: This whisky knows its stuff.

At 12 years old, the Singleton of Dufftown is practically at its prime - mature, but not old. A good introduction for newcomers, a faithful companion for connoisseurs. And best of all: You don't need a tweed jacket or a pipe to enjoy it - one glass is enough.

In short: Scottish whisky without drama, but with style.

Conclusion: The Singleton of Dufftown 12 is like a good friend – uncomplicated, reliable, and always welcome.
A mild, elegant Speyside whisky with a clear signature. Perfect for connoisseurs seeking a balanced and unobtrusive single malt. Slàinte!

Tasting Notes: This is how The Singleton of Dufftown 12 year old tastes like

  • Nose: Soft and inviting with a pleasant sweetness - aromas of honey, ripe apples and pears first reach the nose, accompanied by vanilla, a hint of caramel and lightly roasted nuts - subtle cereal and malt aromas resonate in the background
  • Palate: Smooth and round on the palate - malty sweetness meets creamy toffee, complemented by fine fruit notes - especially apple and dried fruit - light hints of spice and oak give the whisky structure without being overwhelming - very balanced and approachable
  • Finish: Medium-long, with a soft, slightly nutty finish - the fruity sweetness remains, followed by a hint of oak spice and a delicate dryness at the end - overall a pleasant and harmonious finish

Bestellung vollkommen unproblematisch, Lieferung sehr schnell!! Verpackung sehr ordentlich und Inhalt sowieso! Habe diesen milden, sehr wohlschmeckenden Whisky meinem Whisky-bewanderten Bruder zum Geburtstag geschenkt. Auch er ist sehr angetan von diesem Destillat! Unbedingte Weiterempfehlung, auch in Anbetracht des sehr günstigen Preises.
Ebenso unbedingt empfehlenswert : "Home of Malts" (siehe oben)!
