Dufftown – 1975 44 Year Old Old & Rare Heritage Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl, 41.8%)

This is a single cask Dufftown single malt from the Speyside town of the same name, distilled in 1975 and bottled at 44 years old by Hunter Laing for its Old & Rare range. It is bottled at a natural cask strength of 41.8% ABV, in a 70cl bottle. The nose offers ripe orchard fruits, honeycomb and a hint of caramel. On the palate come more ripe fruit, gentle citrus, marzipan and a pleasant waxiness. The finish is long and slightly drying, with spicy, lingering oak.
