The Singleton of Dufftown 1985 is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky from the renowned Speyside region. Distilled in 1985 at the Dufftown distillery and aged for an impressive 28 years, this exceptional whisky was bottled in 2013. With an ABV of 52.3%, it offers a robust and rich drinking experience. This release is particularly special, as it marks The Singleton of Dufftown's debut in Diageo's prestigious annual Special Releases, with only 3816 bottles available worldwide.
Crafted with meticulous care, the whisky's extensive maturation process involved a combination of refill American oak casks and a smaller percentage of sherry casks. This has imparted a perfect balance of flavors and a smoothness that can only be achieved through such long aging.

The whisky's velvety texture and long, satisfying finish make it a must-try for collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike, offering a unique and rare opportunity to savor the depth and complexity of a long-aged Speyside single malt.
