Comments The distillery was opened in 1974, and the present sample was sent to The Gillies Club by Mr.George Grant of Glenfarclas Distillery. It is probably of the first distillation. Now known as "Singleton".
Members' comments "An unusual musty, hydrocarbon taste which persists, with a slightly unpleasant chemical solvent flavour". Strong malt and strong alcohol. I like it". "Pleasant, but not one which would be among my 2 - 3 dozen favourites". The alcohol enhances the flavour of burnt, full-flavoured malt". "Very complex, aromatic, full-flavoured young malt". "Bitterness on palate is later swamped by alcohol, but sweet malt and peat flavours pervade. Therefore, I liked it". "A complicated whisky, with good malt flavour and well integrated alcohol".
