Prima & Ultima Singleton of Dufftown 1985 37 year old, 47.7%

Price: 56,865 Issue: Winter 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Grassy on the nose, with Golden Delicious apple, pear, honey, musty spice, cinnamon, ground hazelnut, nutmeg, truffle oil, and walnut. The mouthfeel is oily, with flavors of baked lemon, peppery spice, melted chocolate, raisin loaf, and vanilla essence. It coats the palate with a dry finish of spice and chocolate. This is definitely best enjoyed neat. (511 bottles; price per 8-bottle set)
