DUFFTOWN-GLENLIVET 8 YEAR OLD 1970S 26 2/3 FL OZ
SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT
70° Proof / 26 2/3 fl oz
One of the best-known single malt whisky brands in the world, Singleton, is not actually a distillery, but rather three distilleries: Glen Ord, Glendullan and Dufftown. Originally, each one catered to a specific global market based on its flavour profile, but these days they can each be found further afield.
With spirit stills that are larger than its wash stills, Dufftown used to produce a heavier spirit described as “nutty and spicy”. However, more recently it has lengthened its fermentation time for a lighter, grassier flavour that better suits (parent company) Diageo’s blending requirements.
