Viewer's Comments about Glendullan
 There
is a local saying in Dufftown: 'Rome was built on seven hills
and Dufftown stands on seven stills.' Glendullan is the seventh
and last distillery built in the town and began production
in 1898.
Set in Glen Fiddich – the valley of the deer –
Dufftown was founded by the 4th Earl of Fife to provide employment
after the Napoleonic Wars. Thanks to its naturally pure water,
it soon became the centre of the distilling industry. Today,
the town lays claim to the title of "Malt Whisky Capital
of the World" and the Glendullan distillery continues
to thrive on the original site where it was built in 1897.
Production began in 1898 and in 1902 the Glendullan single
malt was supplied by royal request to King Edward VII. In
1972 the distillery was expanded to meet demand, with six
stills added.
Today, Glendullan produces more whisky than most of the
distilleries in Diageo's Classic Malts Selection. And given
that the Singleton of Glendullan has already been so well
received, we can’t imagine there’ll be any let
up soon.
The Singleton of Glendullan may be new, but its impact has
been immediate, most notably on the experts from the Beverage
Testing Institute who gave The Singleton the highest ranking
of three leading malt whiskies with a score of 92 and a
rating of 'Exceptional'.
The Singleton of Glendullan has a rich, smooth character
that is derived from the combination of spirit matured in
European Sherry Oak casks and American Bourbon Oak casks.
American Oak brings subtle, honeyed hints of sweet vanilla
while European Oak brings lush fruit and balancing dryness.
It’s this blend of American Bourbon Cask and European
Sherry Cask aging that provides the unique balance and character.
This round, elegant and finely balanced malt
comes from the heart of Speyside. Malted barley, often locally
grown, is carefully selected, and pure water is drawn from
the high, wooded hills above the distillery glen. We bring
them together slowly, to ensure the spirit’s round,
elegant and beautifully balanced nature. We take longer
still to prepare each distillation, pausing to find the
most fragrant, rich fruit flavors.
 Food
suggestion: Delicate and complex with an underpinning sweetness,
The Singleton is delicious with fresh buffalo mozzarella
and with air-cured hams.
Taste style: Smooth, spicy then soft and pleasantly sweet.
A good spread of flavours with a creamy smooth slightly
drying finish.
