Whisky I've Drank: The Singleton Of Glendullan Double Matured



By MasterOfMalts
A single malt from Singleton of Glendullan, originally released for the Travel Retail market. Their Double Matured expression is made with whiskies aged in both European and American oak casks, then married together in casks before being bottled.

NOSE
The fattest of this trio, but also the least immediately expressive. Reminiscent of apricot jam with some spice, and with water, some dark fruits. Solid.
PALATE
A sweet and thick opening with a little orange zest, touches of oxidised wine, currant and that sloe note once more. Touches of old wine cellar. Water makes things more slick. Quite a bulky feel overall. 
FINISH
Short and slightly bitter.
CONCLUSION
Matured separately in American and European oak, then married in ‘a special cask’. 
RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME
Rootling around in the cellar for the bottle of last year’s sloe gin.
