Enjoying a quality single malt like the Singleton of Glendullan 12 Year Old begins with the proper glassware. A tulip-shaped Glencairn glass is ideal for channeling the rich aromas directly to your senses while concentrating the delicate fruit notes.
Pour a standard measure of two ounces at room temperature, allowing the spirit to breathe for a few moments in the glass. Observe the rich, warm amber hue as the light catches the liquid against the sides of the crystal.
Take a slow sip to appreciate the natural strength and texture before adding anything. Follow this by adding just a few drops of ambient spring water using a pipette or teaspoon to gently release complex layers of toasted oak and green apple.
