The Singleton 18-Year-Old Glendullan is a Speyside Scotch produced by Glen Ord, Glendullan, and Dufftown distilleries which are owned by Diageo. The Singleton production started in 2006, but the distilleries opened in 1838, 1897, and 1896. At least there is some history to the suppliers.
The Singleton 18 is a medium bodied whisky with a soft nose, medium-light taste, and is bottled at 40% abv. I compared it to the Singleton 12 and I was surprised at how much more richer and complex the 12-year tasted. The 18-year lacks complexity and its overall flavor profile falls somewhere between flat and boring. When I started learning about whisky ten years ago an expression like The Singleton 18 would have impressed me. Today, not so much. However, if you really like The Singleton 12 I believe you will like The Singleton 18.
Priced around $100+ and nice for a Singleton expression, but very average for a Speyside whisky.
