About this Rare Find whisky
This 16-year-old single malt from Gleann Mór Spirits forms part of their well-regarded Rare Find series, a range known for thoughtful cask selection and an emphasis on showcasing distillery character rather than overpowering it. Distilled at Dufftown Distillery in March 2008 and bottled in 2024, this Speyside malt has been finished in a first-fill oloroso sherry hogshead, adding depth and richness without overwhelming the spirit.
Dufftown’s whisky is often described as quietly complex rather than overtly bold, typically offering a rounded, malty core that responds particularly well to sherry maturation. In this case, the first-fill oloroso cask brings layers of dark fruit, gentle spice, and a creamy sweetness, while still allowing the underlying Speyside freshness to shine through. Bottled at natural cask strength (51.1%), with natural colour and no chill filtration, the texture and flavour are left fully intact.
On the nose, there are aromas of citrus peel and pine needles alongside softly stewed fruits. The palate is sweet and creamy, opening into blackcurrant jam, nutmeg, and nostalgic boiled sweets, before moving into a warming, gently spiced finish that lingers without becoming heavy.
Limited to just 259 bottles, this is a well-judged sherried Speyside that balances maturity, distillery character, and cask influence with confidence—an elegant and highly drinkable Rare Find for fans of classic oloroso-finished malts.
