We have been exploring the deepest corners of our warehouse to find hidden treasures that, due to the stocks, we could never release widely. The amount of time these liquids spent maturing in this type of cask makes it so precious. It\u2019s whisky for whisky lovers and The Singleton Glendullan 40 Year Old is a stunning liquid to launch with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The distillery, with its large, uniquely shaped stills and light distillation technique creates an incredibly fresh and delicate spirit. Ageing exclusively in refill American Oak casks brings subtle, honeyed hints that complement the distillery\u2019s signature sweet vanilla and orchard fruit flavours.<\/p>\n<p>The result is an outstanding and hugely rewarding expression with a sweet and spicy profile featuring hints of honey and a gingery sweetness, finishing with a spiced, lightly salted nutted oak.<\/p>\n<p>Dayalan Nayager, Managing Director of Diageo Global Travel, said: \u201cThe Singleton Glendullan \u2018Forgotten Drop Series\u2019 will offer a collection of limited releases for our whisky connoisseurs in Travel Retail. We\u2019re delighted to introduce this series and work with our Master of Malts Maureen Robinson to unveil such a rare and perfectly crafted single malt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Singleton Glendullan 40 year old is available now, retailing at RRSP \u00a31,900 GBP (2,300 USD) as a Travel Retail Exclusive available Singapore Changi and Taiwan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To learn more about The Singleton visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.malts.com\">www.malts.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheSingleton\">www.facebook.com\/TheSingleton<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drawing from the distillery\u2019s rarest and most precious stocks, The Singleton Glendullan 40 Year Old from The Forgotten Drop series offers whisky connoisseurs a truly [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":29352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2597,1,7099,7097],"tags":[110,857,2151,5641,609],"class_list":["post-29351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-best-selling-brands-in-duty-free","category-latest-news","category-spirits","category-wines-spirits","tag-dfs","tag-singapore-changi-airport","tag-single-malt-scotch-whisky","tag-singleton-glendullan","tag-taiwan"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
