Dufftown 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
6 An excellent aperitif malt.
Dufftown 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 To be served with an apple and hazelnut crumble. Classic, nothing really exciting, but a good Speyside character.
Dewar Rattray Dufftown 1975, 29 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 With some Dufftowns you are glad when you've had enough. This is a well-made example which has been matched by very good bourbon wood.
Old Malt Cask Dufftown 30 Years Old 1977
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
7 Has a cleanliness and delicacy but lacking in impact overall. You expect complexity from old whiskies.
