About The Singleton of Dufftown 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Situated in the Speyside region of Scotland, the Dufftown Distillery was founded in 1895 by four wine merchants who, together, purchased a stone built saw and meal mill and converted into a distillery. Located near the confluence of the Rivers Dullan and Fiddich, the distillery draws its water from Jock's Well, which is renowned for its incredibly pure and flavorful spring water (on more than one occasion, nearby distilleries — particularly Mortlach — have been caught attempting to divert water from the well to their own distillery).
Singleton of Dufftown Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted exclusively from malted barley, which is milled and mashed before being fermented in the distillery's wooden washbacks. Following fermentation, the whisky is distilled twice: first through a copper pot wash still and then again through a copper pot spirit still.
The Singleton brand is actually manufactured in three Scottish whisky distilleries one of which is Dufftown. This classic 15-year-old Speyside Dufftown malt was originally released for the travel market. Aged in a custom mix of European and American oak casks, it’s rich, sweet and spicy notes make a compelling argument for younger single malt expressions on the market.
The intersection of delicate and rich, this Single malt is “reassuringly well-balanced for a 15-year-old, this is an elegant malt with sweet fruitiness and perfect finish.” This single malt is a perfect sipping whisky for its age, the honeycomb, sweet chestnut and sharp red berry fruit flavors of The Singleton of Dufftown 15-Year-Old yield an enticing experience on the palate. Bottled at 40% ABV this single malt won a Gold Medal in the Speyside Single Malts 13-18yo category at the 2015 Scotch Whisky Masters (The Spirits Business).

About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
