Dufftown

  • The Singleton of Dufftown 54 Years Old

    Remarkably well-aged and rejuvenated whisky which is massively drinkable in no small part to the PX polish of sweet dried fruit, nut and chocolate influences layered over some really deep, fibrous and chewy old wood. Hugely complex as befitting its… Continue reading

  • Dufftown 10 Years Old Original Collection

    Obviously sherried and a little acetic/vinegary on the nose, more confusing on the palate but I guess as a mixture of ex-Boubon and PX sherry casks were used this threw me a little bit. Pretty safe and sound for a… Continue reading

  • The Singleton of Dufftown 15 Years Old

    Much more balanced that the Trinité but I still found this one a little bland. I love the 12, despite it’s super-easy drinking it is full of subtleties and nuances of flavour that works really well. Sadly I’m just not… Continue reading

  • The Singleton of Dufftown Trinité

    The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Years Old Whisky Review: Smooth and cereal rich with a good fruity sweetness. Still on of my favourite introductory whiskies, a pleasure to revisit. 82/100 Continue reading

  • Dufftown 8 Years Old 2009 Bicentenary Drammie

    Dufftown 8 Years Old 2009 Bicentenary Drammie Whisky Review: Pleasant and solid, cloyingly rich nose but a more reserved palate full of cereal notes a  touch of zest and spice keep it interesting. 82/100 Continue reading

  • The Singleton of Dufftown Malt Master’s Selection

    The Singleton of Dufftown Malt Master’s Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review: A very mealy and really rather good expression from Dufftown, I have to admit to being partial to the 12yo which is an easy drinker for me. Perhaps… Continue reading

  • The Singleton of Dufftown Tailfire

    Short and sweet overall, some nice aromas but fairly unimpressive from there onwards. This is supposed to be bursting with red fruit and berries – I guess the dram I received had already burst? I will stick to the Spey… Continue reading
