The Singleton of Dufftown 17yo Diageo Special Releases 2020 is a unique expression, matured for 17 years in refill American oak hogsheads. This release is the first-ever exclusively refill cask release of The Singleton Dufftown, and it showcases the fresh, spring-like nature of this slowly crafted single malt. This expression is part of the annual Diageo Special Releases 2020 range and is highly-limited.
On the nose, this whisky is mellow and mild with bright, spring-like scents of honey and orchard fruits, giving a pleasant first impression. A more intense, rich palate follows, with sweet notes of pear drops and beeswax, making for a delightfully creamy dram.
The finish is long and warming, with white pepper and a lingering peppery-spice that leaves the palate tingling. With water, the texture is round, the taste is intense and sweet overall, and both drying and lightly covering, while the hint of beeswax reappears. With water, the effect is softer and sweeter, with less intensity.
Overall, this whisky offers a delightful balance of fresh, spring-like scents, and a rich, creamy palate with a lingering, peppery finish. A must-try for any whisky enthusiast.
