Detailed Description
A honeyed but rich and dark dram from Dufftown distillery, released as part of the Diageo Special Releases 2020. It was matured in refill American-oak hogsheads for 17 years and has developed into a much more chocolatey and fruity whisky than you might expect from the Speyside stalwart.
Singleton of Dufftown 2002 17 Year Old Special Releases 2020 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Damp, freshly mown grass leads, with sweet coffee pastilles and medium-dark chocolate following. Lighter floral notes develop, with boiled sweets and chocolate limes.
Palate: Sweet, smooth and with a real oak flavour.
Finish: Light and elegant as it ends, the last hint of smoke slowly fading out.
