Whiskey, Singleton Tailfire (700 ml)

This vibrant evocation of Dufftown’s fruity character bursts with notes of fresh red berries and sweet vanilla aromas thanks to the influence of European oak casks.

Serve: Best enjoyed over an ice ball or with a a bit of water. Obviously neat is always an option too.

Appearance: Rich amber. Striking.

Nose: Ripe bananas, then soft, plump and delicate, with dried orange peel. As it opens up there’s ripe red apple, and a note of vibrant cut grass or pine resin.

Body: Medium bodied and smooth.

Palate: Syrupy and noticeably tongue-coating. Initial notes of barley malt and green grass soon soften into fruitier jam and plum skins before a firmer structure takes over.

Finish: Sweet and minty, then agreeably smooth; elegant, rich and oaky with velvety chocolate and a creamy hint of coconut, leading to a faintly smoky, aromatic conclusion with orange oil, oak and cedar.
