Description
A 14 year old Dufftown from the Glasgow bottler Hunter Laing, distilled in 2007, from cask HL 18976, bottled at 50%, one of 551 bottles. Dufftown is one of Diageo's largest malt distilleries, founded in 1895 in a former mill. In recent years the ferment was lengthened and the wort run clear for a grassier make.
The spirit was distilled for the nutty, malty character Dufftown is known for, for the nutty, spicy make Dufftown is known for. It rested in ex-Bourbon oak, oak lactones lending vanilla and a little coconut. Integration folds eugenol (clove) and vanillin (vanilla) into the malt, the body softer and nuttier. Years in oak round the spirit, the green apple and malt deepening to honey. Maturation in the eight Dufftown warehouses is slow and steady. Long ageing turns the fresh apple towards honey, dried fruit and a soft spice. The slow distillation gives a smooth spirit that takes well to the cask.
At its natural 50% it is concentrated. A smooth, nutty Speyside fruit, with a soft vanilla from the oak. Beneath it run apple, malt and a soft honey. The finish is rounded, malty and gently spiced. This is Dufftown, a heart malt of the Bell's blend.
