A favourite of blenders and indie bottlers, it’s not often you get to see an official bottling of The Singleton Single Malt scotch whiskey – but it’s always a delight when you do!New layers of flavor are revealed in the 18 year old, namely chocolate, which pairs beautifully with that banana and almond, which are common threads throughout the Glendullan experience. The Singleton Single Malt is sweeter expression than the 12 and 15, there are notes here of toasted marshmallow and honeycomb, with a gentle scorched wood — not quite smoky — element that wafts in and out. Here the finish ends squarely on the almond notes, a nutty and lasting character that is, surprisingly, the most gentle conclusion of all the whiskies in this range. A great price for an 18 year old spirit.The Singleton is a family of three Scottish whisky distilleries; one of which is Glendullan, that was founded in 1897 and is located in Dufftown, in the Speyside region of Scotland.
