Of Dufftown 15 Year Old (700 ml)

Singleton of Dufftown 15 Year Old originates from Dufftown, Speyside's largest whisky-producing village, situated on the River Fiddich in a valley known for soft water and cool fermentation conditions that favor fruity spirit character.

The distillery employs ex-bourbon cask maturation exclusively for this expression, a deliberate choice that avoids the heavier sherry influence common in older Speyside releases. The 15-year aging window allows sufficient wood integration—vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak notes—without the aggressive tannin structure that longer cask contact introduces.

Bottled at 40% ABV, the spirit reflects Singleton's house style: accessible, grain-forward, and designed for consistent approachability across vintages.

The special character lies in its restraint: where many Speyside 15-year expressions reach for complexity through sherry or port finishes, Dufftown's ex-bourbon regime preserves the distillery's orchard-fruit DNA—apple, pear, and subtle honey—while oak contributes structure without domination.

This makes it a rare entry point into aged Speyside without the oak-driven intensity of premium releases.

Drinking window: immediate through 2030.
