Glendullan 10 Years Old 2008
Minor marks and creases to label
Located on the outskirts of Dufftown, Glendullan is today owned by Diageo and produces for its blends and also the Singleton range. The distillery itself began life in 1897, however, the main date of interest is 1972 when a new distillery was constructed alongside the original. This was originally called Glendullan ‘B’ and it ran alongside the original distillery (which still stands) until 1985 when the older plan was mothballed and eventually closed for good. The distillery isn’t open to visitors but you are able to walk by and around the original distillery, which does have a charming old style. Glendullan doesn’t have a huge following in the single malt market, the Singleton range is trying to change that with a variety of age statements including some well-aged single cask releases. It’s a very approachable style of whisky, easy-drinking without demanding too much of the drinker. Diageo seems intent on raising its profile in the coming years.
