2018 Miami Whiskey Mash offering. We tried both the 12- and 15-year varieties of the Singleton of Glendullan back to back. It seems like this whiskey is Diageo's attempt to create a new entry-level step for drinkers graduating from blends to single malts. These whiskies are cheap, meted out at the minimum possible ABV, and packaged attractively in elegant, distinctive canteen-shaped bottles. If I had to guess, the target market is early-to-mid-20's, just starting to graduate beyond well drinks -- you know the type. The flavor profile also demonstrates that this scotch is aimed at taking market share from the Glenfiddich/Glenmorangie/Glenlivet trio of omnipresent single malts. Overall, the end result here is pretty impressive given the price point. This is a light, sweet, fruity scotch, but without any of the bitterness or other flaws I occasionally detect in the finish of its competitors.
