Dufftown is a burgh in Moray, Scotland. ❤️
.
Several years ago in May we went there specifically for a whisky festival.
.
It was a really great whisky trip . .
After visiting a lot of distilleries in Speyside I think I became a little whisky expert

~ Scotch l’orange ~
Happy #InternationalWhiskyDay
AD- due to brand mentions
~ Scotch l’orange ~
Meet ol’ Whisky Sours’ gorgeous cousin from Dufftown and she’s single we’ve been waiting to meet her for 12 years and she’s here to celebrate International Whisky Day with us. Ok ok I’ll stop it
Let’s make the drink...
50ml 12 yr old Single Malt Scotch @thesingletonwhisky
25ml Orange Liqueur
10ml Canadian Maple Syrup
A little squeeze of lemon and a little squeeze of orange.
2 dashes of Orange Bitters @angosturahouse
Orange Egg white foam
Here I tried mixing it up a little differently. In the shaker add ice and all ingredients except egg white. In separate shaker add egg white white a squeeze of orange Shake this one to get the party started. Shake the other shaker to chill and dilute then fine strain into the egg mix. Shake a little more as all whisky lovers are joining the party
Now strain into gorgeous glassware (yes I know self confessed glassware addict ♀️ - this is one of my favourites. Heavy based for that added weight - you know, get those reps in and earn your cocktails)
Kindly gifted by @artisuk_
Garnish with orange rind and bloom (gifted with love from a bestie - this is bragging not because insta said so )
Shave some orange rind onto the foam.
Are you ready to celebrate?
Cheers

Balvenie Castle, Dufftown
The original castle was built in the second half of the 1200s, making it one of Scotland’s oldest stone castles. Balvenie was most likely built for Alexander Comyn, 2nd Earl of Buchan. The vast territory ruled over by the Comyns stretched from the Moray Firth to what is now Fort William.
The Comyns were allied with John Balliol, who was deposed by Edward I of England in 1296. The dynasty lost power after arch-rival Robert I seized the throne in 1306.
The castle is now uninhabited by people but bats and barn owls live here for part of the year.
Dufftown is the „Whisky Capital of the World“. The closest distillery to the Castle is not Balvenie Distillery, the closest distillery is Glenfiddich Distillery. The castle was original known as Mortlach which is today the name of another distillery in Dufftown.

The Balvenie DoubleWood was one of the very first single malts I ever tasted and it's still a great favourite. Which dram is your favourite and go to malt?
