About this product
A Speyside Gem of Subtle Elegance.
From the heart of Speyside comes The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Year Old — a beautifully balanced single malt whisky that captures the softness and charm of the region. Crafted in the historic Dufftown Distillery, where pure spring water from the River Dullan meets centuries of Scottish tradition, this whisky is triple matured in a mix of European and American oak casks. The result is a velvety dram rich in honeyed malt, fresh fruit, and a gentle nuttiness that lingers long after the last sip.
There’s a warmth and familiarity in every pour — the kind that recalls quiet evenings shared over good stories and even better company. Smooth enough for newcomers yet layered enough for seasoned whisky lovers, The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Year Old has found a loyal following in Ireland for its accessible character and refined craftsmanship. It’s a malt that rewards slow sipping, with every swirl revealing new shades of vanilla, caramel, and toasted almonds.
This whisky stands as a perfect expression of what Speyside does best: balance, subtlety, and poise. Enjoy it neat to appreciate its full depth, or over ice for a softer, fruit-forward experience. Either way, it’s a reminder that sometimes the simplest pleasures are also the finest.
Why we love it:
We love The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Year Old for its easy-drinking elegance and smooth, rounded flavour profile. It’s approachable yet refined — the kind of single malt that bridges the gap between everyday enjoyment and quiet indulgence. A Speyside classic that’s as at home on a cosy evening in Ireland as it is in its native Scottish Highlands.
