17 year (Single Cask Single Malt - The Old Malt Cask)
Glendullan
Scotland ~ 50% ~ $287
From the whisky capital of the world hails Glendullan, the last of the “Seven Stills” to be built in Dufftown. A workhorse for Diageo, the distillery’s 6 onion-shaped stills pump out immense amounts of spirit destined for blends with a portion reserved for The Singleton brand single malt sold exclusively in the USA. We’ve snagged this expression from independent bottler Hunter Laing who’s left it set 17 years in refill hogshead. Expect Glendullan’s famed round and elegant character, achieved via low-and-slow distillation, to flourish in this near-cask-strength presentation.
