We assessed Whisky Review: The Singleton of Glendullan 18 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. It carries the weight of expectation.
Nose
This is a slightly yellow amber in color. It has big tears that are very slow to form.
Palate
This smells of cinnamon, brown sugar, and oak with a little bit of apple and vanilla. It’s like if a dutch apple pie had been barrel aged. This is a very light flavor profile. I get some caramel sweetness up front with cinnamon spice and brown sugar on the mid palate. There is a little vanilla before the finish, which has a surprisingly funky sulfur note that I quite enjoy.
Finish
While very mild, this is quite enjoyable. The finish is just strong enough to make this an interesting neat pour. This is the most I have enjoyed a pour of The Singleton before, and it has me curious about their other older vintage and one-off labels.
Verdict
Whisky Review: The Singleton of Glendullan 18 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky delivers a thoroughly accomplished whiskey that justifies its price point. It is well-crafted, balanced, and worthy of a place in any considered collection.
