Dufftown

Speyside, Scotland · 1896'den beri

Dufftown Distillery was established in 1896 in the town of Dufftown, Speyside — a region so densely packed with distilleries that the old saying goes, 'Rome was built on seven hills, Dufftown built on seven stills.' Operated under the Diageo umbrella, the distillery produces spirit that serves primarily as the backbone of Bell's blended Scotch whisky, one of the best-selling blends in the UK. Its character is quintessentially Speyside: approachable, fruity and gently sweet, with notes of orchard fruit, vanilla and a subtle spice from oak maturation. The soft waters of the local springs play a vital role in shaping its delicate profile. Although official single malt bottlings are relatively rare, independent bottlers have occasionally released expressions that reveal the distillery's understated elegance. Dufftown is a quiet cornerstone of Scottish whisky heritage, unassuming yet indispensable.
