Distillation runs through traditional copper pot stills, but the defining production detail is the extended 75-hour fermentation of malted barley. This prolonged contact with yeast generates a greater concentration of fruity congeners than shorter fermentations allow, giving the resulting spirit a distinctly light body and orchard-fruit sweetness before it enters oak casks for its twelve-year maturation. Within Diageo's Singleton range — which sources from different Speyside distilleries depending on market — the Glendullan expression is the variant sold in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft vanilla and dried fruit greet the nose first, followed by a wave of toasted malt and honey.

The extended 75-hour fermentation and slow, low-temperature distillation through Glendullan's onion-shaped stills create a spirit with more fruit ester complexity than many of its peers at the same age statement. Eighteen years in a combination of American and European oak casks deliver the kind of layered toffee, spice, and dark fruit depth that collectors and casual drinkers alike can appreciate. For an 18-year-old single malt, it occupies an accessible price tier without sacrificing the maturity or craft that define serious Scotch whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Singleton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837690441897,"sku":"30254","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Singleton18_f16420e3-27c4-426f-b32c-c6146becef81.webp?v=1730776983"},{"product_id":"singleton-of-glendullan-game-of-thrones-house-tully-750ml","title":"Singleton of Glendullan Game of Thrones House Tully 750ML","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingleton of Glendullan Game of Thrones House Tully 750ML\u003c\/strong\u003e is a non-age-statement Speyside single malt Scotch whisky bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle.

The distillery originally distinguished itself by using a 14-foot diameter waterwheel — generating roughly 16 horsepower — to drive its machinery, an uncommon choice at a time when most Scottish distilleries relied on steam engines. Today Glendullan operates three wash stills and three spirit stills, producing an unpeated malt spirit with water sourced from the springs of Conval Hill. The House Tully bottling draws on this deep connection to water, thematically linking the distillery's identity to the Tully family seat of Riverrun in George R.R. Martin's universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange peel and clove arrive first, followed by richer layers of sandalwood, fruity sweetness, and a creamy quality that deepens as the whisky opens up.

The House Tully is a non-age-statement release, whereas Glenlivet 12 carries a stated age, which may influence perceived depth and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs House Tully good for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — at 40% ABV with no peat influence, it presents an accessible entry point to Speyside single malts.

Soft cheeses like brie or camembert echo the creamy vanilla character. Apple tart or pear crumble mirrors the fruit-forward profile. Smoked salmon works with the malty undertone, and dark chocolate with orange highlights the citrus and berry elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does House Tully come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard release is a 750ml bottle, which is the widely available format for this limited-edition expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs House Tully worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e It positions as a mid-range single malt with added collectible value due to the Game of Thrones branding and limited-edition packaging.

The thematic pairing with House Tully is more than cosmetic: Glendullan's historic reliance on water power and its spring-fed production process mirror the Tully family's identity as lords of the river. Within the eight-bottle Game of Thrones collection, this expression stands out for its fruit-heavy, spice-driven Speyside character, offering a distinctly different regional experience from the peated or Highland bottlings in the series. For collectors and whisky drinkers alike, it represents a genuine Speyside single malt wrapped in one of the more thoughtful distillery-to-house pairings Diageo made in this collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Singleton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837742608553,"sku":"31070","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Singleton-of-Glendullan-Game-of-Thrones-House-Tully__11345.jpg?v=1730492861"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/singleton.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
