The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Years
While Dufftown's new NAS range puts the emphasis on different cask types, this is the 12 year-old former "entry-level bottling". It's very sweet and smooth and has mellow malt aromas.

Nosing:
Toasted nut and rich fruit aromas. Adding a touch of water brings out the classic Speyside fruit-sweet aromas
Taste:
Sweetness and crunchy nuts, then smooth fruity richness. Firm, with a balancing sweetness; hints of blackcurrant, brown sugar and espresso coffee. Warming and pleasant
Finish:
Medium to long, elegantly drying and crisp with a delayed, lingering warmth

middle linger
Comment:
To be honest, it is disappointed. This drum has a quite vivid gold color and strong sherry flavor in it. But once I try to ship, I am not really and slightly comfortable with its flavor than normal Scotch drum. I think this one has the impression that they forced or add some intense flavor on it with artificial operation. When I add some water on it, the flavor of this whiskey became quite thin than other scotch single malt.

Nosing: 
Taste:
Finish: Long and malty
Comment: A rather rich and malty dram with a spicy oak bite. A warm finish with a twinge of peat smoke and burnt match stick. Dried fruits, fig and citrus notes found throughout. Some Bitter coffee towards the finish.

I really enjoy this whisky! I am rather new to whisky but i can see how this would be a bit boring for a whisky veteran, but for a newbie like me i would say its a pretty good dram.
