Tasting Notes

Nose: Layers of dried apricot, heather honey and soft vanilla, intertwined with beeswax furniture polish and a whisper of citrus peel Palate: Silky waves of butterscotch, ripe orchard fruit and creamy coconut from the bourbon oak, supported by gentle nutmeg and a touch of waxy malt Finish: Long, warming and refined, leaving echoes of sweet cereal, light leather, and lingering seasoned-oak spice
Step into Speyside history with Dufftown-Glenlivet 37 Year Old – 1978 Vintage, an exceptionally mature release from Cadenhead’s Small Batch Gold Label series. Drawn from a lone bourbon hogshead and bottled in 2015 at natural cask strength, this whisky spent nearly four decades coaxing delicate fruit, honeyed malt and polished oak into perfect harmony. With only 192 bottles, it offers a rare glimpse of Dufftown-Glenlivet spirit from the late-1970s, preserved non-chill-filtered and at natural colour for connoisseurs and collectors alike.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • A venerable 37-year-old Speyside malt from the historic Dufftown-Glenlivet distillery

  • Single bourbon hogshead maturation delivers elegant layers of honey, fruit and mellow American-oak sweetness

  • Released under Cadenhead’s Small Batch Gold Label banner: natural strength, natural colour, no chill-filtration

  • Strictly limited to 192 bottles, making it a coveted addition for enthusiasts of long-aged Speyside whisky and vintage single-cask rarities

Savour the grace and depth of Dufftown-Glenlivet in this stately expression—an eloquent testament to time, oak and enduring Speyside craftsmanship.

The Distillery

Dufftown
Dufftown Distillery, founded in 1895 on the site of the Pittyvaich corn mill along the Dullan Water near the town of Dufftown, proudly resides at the heart of Scotland’s Speyside whisky region. Despite its compact footprint, the distillery’s six stills generate around six million liters of alcohol annually, placing Dufftown among the top ten Scottish malt distilleries in terms of volume. Although the majority of its output contributes to Bell’s blended whiskies, the popular Singleton of Dufftown range has expanded to include Tailfire, Sunray, and Spey Cascade expressions. Independent bottlings from Cadenheads and Signatory Vintage further showcase the diversity of this Speyside powerhouse, underscoring Dufftown Distillery’s enduring heritage and appeal among whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
