Description
A.D. Rattray, the Morrison family bottler with its shop in the old village school at Kirkoswald on the Ayrshire coast, bottled this Glendullan, distilled in 2000, from cask 9417, at 54.6%, one of 341 bottles. Glendullan is a Speyside single malt from Dufftown, once supplied to King Edward VII. A second distillery was built alongside the original in 1972, the two running together until the old plant closed in 1985.
The spirit was distilled from unpeated malt, for a clean, grassy make with a fruity lift. Ex-Bourbon oak and an Oloroso cask held it, layered over the green Glendullan make. Through integration spirit and wood marry, vanillin rounding out as esters lend a riper orchard and tropical fruit. Long ageing turns the fresh green notes towards orchard fruit, honey and a gentle spice. Years in oak deepen the spirit to gold, the body growing rounder with time.
At a natural 54.6% it is full and creamy. Pear, apple and a soft spice, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. Beneath it run green apple, pear and a soft grass. Green apple, citrus and a soft oak see it out. This is the lightly fruity malt of Dufftown.
