Отзывы в целом описывают виски как мягкий, фруктовый и лёгкий, но не очень сложный, с коротким или средним финишем. Мнения о глубине и интенсивности расходятся: часть отмечает приятную фруктовость и лёгкую питкость, часть — недостаток сложности для 15-летнего возраста.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстовых отзывов профиль описывается как фруктовый и мягкий: яблоки, груши, цитрусовые, персик, абрикос, мёд, ваниль, иногда сухофрукты, орехи и шоколад. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают сливочность и лёгкую сладость во вкусе, а также пряные ноты — перец, корицу, дуб. Финиш чаще характеризуют как короткий или средний, иногда с мятой, цитрусовой цедрой или древесными нотами. Ряд отзывов прямо указывает на недостаток сложности и глубины, ожидаемых от 15-летнего виски, и на то, что напиток простой и лёгкий, хотя и приятный. Есть и более положительные оценки, где подчёркивается гармоничная фруктовость, интенсивность и хорошее соотношение цены и качества; отдельно упоминается, что по сравнению с 12-летним версия кажется немного лучше или, наоборот, не лучше. Также встречаются замечания о водянистости, слабой интенсивности, лёгкой металлической ноте и о том, что крепость 40% ощущается слабо. Один отзыв резко негативен из-за влияния красителя (zuckerkolor).

I had the 15 Singleton of Dufftown in the glass, but unfortunately without seeing the bottling date or the bottle code. In any case, it must have been a very good batch, because I remembered the whisky really positively, despite its rather modest key data. It will definitely be tried again at some point in order to confirm or reject the first impression.

cherries! Apricots, white vineyard peach, pear, sandalwood, milk chocolate, fresh birch wood, rose water, lovage. All very harmonious and soft. The whisky lives up to its name. A lavish fruit without ever being overpowering. It may lack some complexity, but you can't ask for that in this price range.

Rather short with a little mint at the beginning and then a good portion of fruit. Not very complex, but enjoyable.

The fruits are more pronounced, even spicy, blood orange, clementine, melon, lemon and grapefruit juice, juicy apples and pears, white grapes, prickly pears. Creamy vanilla in the background, with some floral touches. The palate is still very clear, but a little less than with the 12 year old, still fruity, slightly honeyed, biscuity, with very light spices. The finish is correct without being really remarkable, barely long, light but a little punchy, toasted wood, cereals, egg custard, brown sugar and sponge cake. Almonds. It's exactly the same profile as the 12 year old, just a little better. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-singleton-fruity-decadence-15-yo.html

Not really complex, rather fruity, light and easy drinkable, starts very good on the nose, but cannot catch up on the palate and in the finish - unbelievable that this should be 15yo - I would give probably 5yo and heavily diluted to 40%

If these were bottles at 46% they would be much better for it

The initial mouth feel is good, being slightly creamy and sweet and everything seems balanced. There is a lovely pineapple chunks/pineapple sugared sweet note, mixing with a little honey. The issue is after the initial flavours there is little left so depth of profile is shallow, and very simple profile. perhaps the above comment is a little harsh but is does get a little metallic as you go on which drops the points a little but a spice note appears out of nowhere which lifts this a little.

The nose no longer contains the sharp undertone from the 12yo, but the palette is just as lacking.
Cupcakke0955Member Senior7928 sep 2024 1:10 pm
Was surprised by the spiciness of this whisky, and it's not the abv, it's from the oak. It's hugely different from it's 12yo sibiling. This is much more challenging. I could detect a decent amount of European oak used. It was quite intense despite the low 40% abv, they compensated the low abv with more intense casks. Another good value dram from the singleton of dufftown

I didn't like it at first. But after smelling it for a while, I thought it was alright.
13/04/2025 79.5 / 100 AROMA - 19.5 / 25 Sweet and slightly dessert-like, with notes of ripening pears, flowers, sweet orange juice, peach, and honey, along with a touch of honey and wood. Pleasant, but with a slight alcoholic note. It's not much better than the 12-year-old version. TASTE - 21.5 / 25 Slightly grainy, slightly salty and sweet, with hay and tobacco, a touch of wood, cornflakes, and dry walnuts, along with dry apples and pears. It's pleasant, and the alcohol fades rather quickly. A straightforward whisky with the alcohol well-hidden. FINISH - 18.5 / 25 Medium-long finish, malty/woody with subtle notes of caramel, honey, and charred wood. Simple but pleasant and well-balanced. BALANCE - 20 / 25 Much better than the 12th edition. It has a certain intensity and structure. You can't expect miracles here, but it delivers what you pay for and can easily be a better, more casual alternative to the 12th edition.
Mika_BMember Junior8006 jun 2026 12:27 am
Smells lovely. Taste is okay, not too strong in flavour bit metallic but also immensly sweet. The finish is quite strong and long to me. Overall a pretty good one, not the best at this price point and year by far.

Overall, I can say it didn't feel like a typical 15-year-old whisky. While the aroma was a bit stronger, it wasn't particularly appealing otherwise. Despite its 40% alcohol content, it can leave a harsher taste on the palate. It might have fallen short of my expectations for its age, but considering the price, it's much more affordable than similar brands. In that respect, it's a decent price-performance whisky.

On the nose, I sense a hint of sweet vanilla and sweet malt, a light oak spice, very ripe fruits like pear, apple, apricot, and peach. I also felt a bit of bitterness and acidity, like a touch of citrus peel.
Вкус
79
On the palate, there's a sweet vanilla note similar to the nose, along with a slightly sweet malt taste. Spices are a bit more prominent here, with black pepper and a hint of oak bitterness. There are also aromas of citrus peels and a slightly bitter grapefruit. I can also say that I detected a faint taste of alcohol in the background.

The finish is neither too watery nor too dry, somewhere in between. It begins with a very brief sweetness and citrus notes, followed quickly by the warmth of spices like black pepper and a slightly menthol-like sensation, and finally ends with a very superficial peach aroma—I would describe it as short, or maybe a little longer.
In the Singleton line, this one seemed more interesting to me.

Totally overpowered by the added (large) amount of 'zuckerkolor', which makes the whole thing a bit rancid for me. Salted caramel in a whisky? Really can't imagine a 15 year old whisky - however bad - could taste any worse without the coloring! So really only needed for the color.....? The first single malt in my life, which I didn't drink and empty the glass. Bah!
