Enquire

Distilled in 1988 this 30 year old Singleton is drawn from refill American oak casks. Complex and layered, a unique single malt and the last survivor from a handful of the best casks filled at Dufftown distillery in 1988. By giving the yeast more time to work its magic on the wash before distilling they managed to slowly unfurl grassy, fruity flavours never truly experienced before. This historic expression shares the excitement of that discovery. This first and last release comes from the three best among the last few 1988 casks.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Bright, clear gold.

Body

Medium.

Nose

Mellow and at first vinous, aromas. A suggestion of apple tart or sharply fruity elderflower and redcurrant on short-crust pastry and Virginia tobacco, on a base rich in woody aromas.

Palate

The taste is slim and smooth in texture, yet sweet and lightly fruity with considerable, growing spicy intensity, which comes to dominate.

Finish

The finish is long, spicy and warming, then lightly drying. Leaves the palate tingling.
