Singleton 19 Years Old 2021 Special Release 70cl 54.6°
This 19-year-old, rich and smooth Singleton stands out from the classic expression of this Speyside malt with its exuberant, honeyed sweetness and more pronounced taste.
The Singleton of Glendullan is a whisky conceived slowly, according to masterful craftsmanship, and whose production extends long and languidly between the barley and its ripening. First aged in American oak barrels and then matured in Cognac barrels, this is a melodious Single Malt which is not intended to be simply tasted, but the slightest drop of which must be savoured.
To the soft fruity and tangy aromas found on the nose are added notes of dry oak, beeswax, to lead to a warm finish marked by nutmeg and ginger. From the start to the end of the tasting, bursting layers of flavour are superimposed on the palate.
The Special Releases series from Maison Diageo is a set of limited edition bottlings. This highly coveted collection is recognized and appreciated. For its 2021 edition, Diageo has chosen 8 cask-strength Single Malt Scotch whiskies from rare and original casks.

« Perfectly balanced, Naturally Rich and Smooth » are words that describe perfectly this exceptional Single Malt.
There is a saying in Dufftown: “Rome has been built on seven hills and Dufftown on seven distilleries”. The Dufftown distillery is the sixth established in town. Its buildings, genuine construction of the 19th century, are based closed to the river, in a small valley bordered with trees and hills. Germination on malting floors has been used until 1968. At the time, modern condensers were used to liquefy the vapours.
The distillery started drawing water from the Highlandman John’s Well Spring from 1896 and is still using the same water. Dufftown distillery has three pairs of stills. Curiously, this whisky is described as “full-bodied” when freshly distilled but twelve years maturing in oak casks brings added smoothness and lovely warming notes. A major part of the whisky ages in American oak casks and a small quantity ages in European Sherry casks. These two flavours combined are the reason why The Singleton of Dufftown is so seducing and well-balanced.
The uniquely shaped bottle of Singleton of Dufftown is inspired from traditional casks. The colour of the glass evokes the blue-coloured “lead glass” used at the end of the 19th century.
Because of the unique character and quality of The Singleton of Dufftown whiskies, the distillery features in the Classic Malts Selection. Created more than 20 years ago, this selection recognises Single Malts crafted in the tradition of iconic distilleries, and offers the most impressive whisky styles Scotland has to offer.
