The Singleton of Glendullan 14-year-old, The Silken Gown, 2023 Special Release/ 55%/ 0.7l

The Diageo Special Releases 2023 collection consists of eight single malt whiskies and is called "Spirited Xchange".

It was created for the first time by Diageo's Master Blender, Dr Stuart Morrison, who described his creation as "an attempt to identify and celebrate the idea of ​​aromas and flavours that surround us every day and inspire the need to create. This collection is a cross-section of our impressive warehouse stock and the result of experimenting with more or less traditional casks. As a result, we have created eight unique spirits that we had not previously imagined would exist". The Singleton of Glendullan 14 years old, named "The Silken Gown", after a basic maturation in traditional oak barrels, was finished in French oak barrels from Chardonnay de Bourgogne.
