Built in 1897, the last of seven distilleries founded in Dufftown, Glendullan was the brainchild of blenders from Aberdeen by the name of William Williams and sons. With solid business acumen and a private railway siding, the Williams gave Glendullan a healthy start in life. So solid in fact that it took the barley shortages of the Second World War to halt production – though the momentous world event caused only a seven year blip in the history of this exceptional malt.
The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Year Old Luscious Nectar offers a sophisticated and richly flavoured tasting experience. It begins with a peppery spice on the nose, quickly giving way to an aromatic array of tropical fruits like mango and pineapple, beautifully intertwined with a subtle oakiness. The palate is sumptuously sweet, featuring ripe stone fruits and honey, complemented by smooth vanilla and a hint of nutmeg, all enveloped in a creamy texture that enhances the drinking pleasure. The finish is long and warming, with a persistent sweet and spicy oak flavour that lingers invitingly. Aged in a combination of bourbon, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, this whisky presents a complex, luscious profile that makes it ideal for savouring neat or enriching a premium cocktail.
