Product Details
The Singleton of Dufftown 18 Years Old is celebrated for its perfectly balanced style. The Dufftown Distillery insists on a long fermentation process of up to 75 hours—significantly longer than many other distilleries—to imbue the spirit with more floral and fruity aromas. Through a double-cask maturation in Bourbon and Sherry casks, this whisky successfully fuses creamy vanilla with dried fruit spices, serving as a prime example of The Singleton's 'slow-crafted' philosophy.

Read More About the Brand
Dufftown Distillery is situated in Speyside, the heart of Scotch whisky. As one of the three pillars of The Singleton brand, Dufftown is world-renowned for its 'slow-crafted' brewing philosophy. This 18-year-old expression is a core member of the range, perfectly capturing the distillery's soul.
The production of The Singleton 18 Years Old is extremely meticulous. First, the distillery employs a longer-than-average fermentation time, allowing yeast sufficient time to produce rich esters that give the whisky its original fruity character. Next, slow distillation in custom copper stills ensures every drop of spirit has ample contact with the copper, removing impurities and retaining the purest, most elegant flavors.
During the maturation stage, the master blender selects high-quality European Sherry Casks and American Bourbon Casks. These two types of wood are precisely blended over 18 years to achieve perfect harmony. Bourbon casks bring sweetness of vanilla, cream, and honey, while Sherry casks impart rich dried fruits, spices, and deep woody notes. The resulting whisky presents a bright amber color, with its creamy texture being its greatest charm.
For whisky enthusiasts, The Singleton 18 Years Old is not just a bottle of liquor, but a dialogue about time and craftsmanship. It redefines the concept of 'balance', allowing a Speyside whisky to maintain freshness while possessing the body and complexity of high-age expressions. Whether for family gatherings or business gifting, this 18-year-old is an excellent choice reflecting taste and sincerity.
