Glendullan 15 years 2009 - 2025 #9 Cask Strength Collection

Glendullan is one of Speyside’s quieter distilleries, but this 15-year-old single malt proves it deserves the spotlight. Distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2025 for the Cask Strength Collection, it was finished in a first fill Oloroso sherry hogshead. The result is a whisky with enhanced depth and warmth, where rich sherry notes meet Glendullan’s natural fruitiness. Bottled at cask strength, it offers power and elegance in equal measure.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Lush aromas of dried figs, orange peel and dark honey. In the background, notes of toasted almonds, spicy oak and a touch of cinnamon.

Palate

Smooth and full-bodied with flavours of raisins, toffee and stewed fruits. The Oloroso finish brings a warm sweetness, balanced by gentle spice, walnuts and a hint of mocha.

Finish

Long and elegant with lingering sherried fruit, cocoa and a slightly drying, spicy oak note that fades slowly.

Glendullan Distillery

Founded in 1897 by William Williams & Sons, Glendullan is one of seven distilleries in Dufftown, often described as the "whisky capital of the world". The distillery was rebuilt in 1972 to increase production capacity, and since then two separate distilleries have operated on the same site.

A unique feature of Glendullan is the use of water from the Conval Hills, which contributes to the purity and character of their whiskies. Glendullan whiskies are known for their mild and fruity flavour profiles, with notes of apple, pear, vanilla and a subtle hint of spice. The distillery uses traditional copper pot stills and a slow distillation process, which ensures a balanced and refined spirit.

The whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks, ensuring a rich and complex taste experience. Glendullan produces mainly for the blended whisky industry but also as a single malt, Glendullan is appreciated worldwide for its consistency and quality. The combination of a historic location, traditional techniques and high-quality production makes Glendullan a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
