Singleton of Glendullan 19 Years Special Releases 2021 [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that pushes the boundaries of traditional Scottish whisky making?

The Singleton of Glendullan 19 Years Special Releases 2021 represents Diageo’s bold experimentation with Cognac cask finishing, creating one of the most intriguing expressions in their prestigious annual series. This limited edition release showcases 19 years of patient maturation in refill American oak before its transformative finish in Cognac-seasoned casks. While collectors often gravitate toward The Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt for special occasions, this Singleton offers equally sophisticated complexity at a more accessible point. For those seeking cask strength alternatives, this expression delivers remarkable intensity at its natural bottling strength.

**Technical Specifications:**
