Singleton is one of those typical speyside whiskies that are not really my cup of tea. Everytime you taste a new expression from this distillery you are likely to expect a super fruity and light dram, usually bottled at 40%abv. This 12yo release, called "luscious nectar" is no exception to this rule. In the back of this thin bottle says that this one has been finished in Px casks, that is why i am a little interested in trying it. Lets see how it went:
On the nose, starts spicy, to then release the fruitiness. Peppery, toffee and stewed apples. After a first sip it released honey and red fruits. Not bad, not amazing.
On the palate it is enjoyable, very sweet. Honey, vanilla and almonds. Some red apples are present.
Aftertaste is not very appealing. Raw rice. Cereal, raw finish. Dry and short.
Overall, i did not find any PX profile on this one. I have to accept that the palate was nice but the nose was a little simple and the aftertaste was not very good. This one you can avoid and you won't feel like you lost from drinking something special. My score for it is 69 over 100.
