This bottle is a 12-year-old single malt produced by Glendullan, a traditional distillery in the Speyside region. This extremely valuable old bottle was released in the early 1970s, a time when the distillery, known as the key malt for Old Parr, was known for producing whiskies of particularly high quality.
The bottle has a simple, slender shape that highlights the beautiful amber color of the contents. The label is a warm yellow with a bold illustration of the distillery's symbol in the center. The biggest attraction of this bottle is the small sticker on the neck that states the alcohol content is 47%. This was an unusually high concentration for an official bottle at the time, and it is likely that this is what keeps the whisky's flavor rich and powerful.
Bottled at a high strength of 47% ABV, Glendullan boasts the powerful body and rich flavor you expect from an old bottle. The aroma is intense, with malt notes with earthy nuances and a subdued, estery sweetness reminiscent of caramelized apples. The palate is substantial and thick, dominated by a rich sweetness reminiscent of tortoiseshell candy and rich honey. A bittersweet toastiness and a subtle spiciness spread throughout, with earthy old peat nuances slowly seeping in towards the end. This is a supreme bottle that allows you to fully enjoy the charm of a traditional old malt without pretense, and savor the rich barley flavor and high maturity of Speyside malt.
As this is an old bottle, the liquid level and label may show signs of aging. There is also sediment in this whisky. Please check the condition and only consider purchasing if you understand this.
