For the first time, an official bottling of Singleton of Dufftown has been aged in entirely refill American oak casks. The aim was to showcase fresh, bright flavours of the spirit itself, an ambition Diageo have accomplished with aplomb.
This bottling serves up notes of honeyed biscuits, vanilla pod, butter, fresh cut apples and pears, meadow flowers, hay-like malt, cut grass, custard, pastry, gentle oak, a little pepperiness and some soft raspberries with milk chocolate.
