Product Details
The Singleton of Dufftown 18 Years Old is famous for its ultimate balance. The Dufftown Distillery insists on a fermentation time of up to 75 hours—significantly longer than many distilleries—to endow the spirit with more floral and fruity notes. Through dual-cask maturation in Bourbon and Sherry casks, this whisky successfully fuses creamy vanilla with dried fruit spices, serving as a masterpiece of The Singleton’s 'Slow Craft' philosophy.

The Dufftown Distillery is located in Speyside, the heart of Scotch whisky. As one of the three pillars of The Singleton brand, Dufftown is world-renowned for its 'Slow Craft' brewing philosophy. This 18-year-old expression is a core member of the series, 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 enough time to produce rich esters that give the spirit its original fruitiness. Then, slow distillation through specially designed copper stills ensures every drop of liquid has ample contact with the copper, removing impurities and retaining the most pure and elegant flavors.
During the maturation stage, the master blender selects high-quality European Sherry Casks and American Bourbon Casks. The ratio of these two casks is precisely adjusted, and 18 years of time allows them to blend perfectly. Bourbon casks bring sweetness of vanilla, cream, and honey, while Sherry casks impart rich dried fruits, spices, and deep woody aromas. The final whisky presents a bright amber color, and its creamy texture on the palate is 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 'balance,' allowing Speyside whisky to maintain freshness while possessing the weight and complexity to rival older vintages. Whether for family gatherings or business gifting, this 18-year-old is an excellent choice reflecting taste and sincerity.
