Description
A Glendullan of a 10 year old chosen by Blackadder, distilled in 2010, from cask 119, at 62.1%, one of the festival bottlings. Glendullan is a Speyside single malt known for a green, grassy, lightly fruity style. Since 2007 its single malt has been bottled as the Singleton of Glendullan, aimed at the United States. Most of its make has always gone to blends, above all Diageo's Old Parr. Its water rises at the Goats Well spring in the Conval Hills above the distillery. The founding firm merged into Macdonald Greenlees and was absorbed by DCL in 1926, a forerunner of Diageo.
It was taken gently through wash and spirit stills, building a clean malt of orchard fruit and a grassy edge. A refill bourbon hogshead held it, keeping the fresh, fruity character to the fore. In integration coconut and vanilla knit with the malt, the pear softening towards a creamy honey. Maturation runs slow and even in the warehouses at Dufftown.
At its natural 62.1% it is full and fruity. A fresh orchard fruit and a malty sweetness, lifted by a soft oak. A green apple and a gentle citrus lift the middle. A fresh finish closes on pear and a soft oak. This is a clean, fruity Speyside single malt.
