Singleton 15 YO comes from the Dufftown distillery in Speyside, matured in a mix of European and American oak casks. That combination gives it a honeyed, slightly nutty character alongside ripe autumn fruit, a step up in complexity from the brand’s entry level 12 Year Old. It suits drinkers who want an easy drinking Speyside malt with more depth and spice than the youngest expression offers.
CHARACTER
Honey: Honeycomb sweetness opens the nose
Pear: Fresh pear on the finish
Red Berries: Sharp red berry note through the fruit salad palate
Star Anise: Delicate aniseed spice on the finish
Walnut: Nutty character underneath the fruit
Almond: Rounds out the nutty, oaky finish
TASTING NOTES
NOSE- Honeycomb sweetness balances a youthful zestiness of linseed and scented tea, with toffee apple sitting underneath.
PALATE- Malty and oaty, opening into a fresh fruit salad character with ripe autumn fruit, red berry sharpness and a nutty thread of walnut and almond.
FINISH- Drying, with pear and digestive biscuit leading into a delicate aniseed spice.
