Glendullan – 12 Year Old Flora & Fauna (2006) (70cl, 43%)

This is Glendullan 12 Year Old, a Speyside single malt from Diageo's Flora & Fauna series of single malts. It comes in a 70cl bottle at 43% ABV. Glendullan distillery stands in a wooded valley in Dufftown, with the River Fiddich flowing past. It was built in 1897 and was one of seven established in the town in the nineteenth century. The river once drove the machinery and is now used for cooling. The malt is described as firm and mellow, with a fruity bouquet and a smooth, lingering finish.
