Why This Bottle?
We’re nearing the end of the Game of Thrones single malt whisky journey. Tonight’s pick is Singleton House Tully from Glendullan in Speyside. House Tully rules the Riverlands, so expect something clean, lively, and maybe even a little watery (in a good way). It’s also the lightest dram in the Game of Thrones set whisky range—perfect reset after peat and spice.

First Sniff
I poured a measure, let it rest while the kettle boiled. Straight talk aromas:
-
Green apple – crisp, Granny-Smith style.
-
Vanilla sponge – light and sweet.
-
Fresh grass – like a lawn after rain.
Everything smells bright and easy.
Taste (Plain Words Only)
-
Apple and pear – first bite.
-
Vanilla custard – smooth middle.

Soft oak spice – nutmeg tingle.
-
Clean finish – short, leaves a sweet hint.
No smoke, no peat, no drama. This one glides like a slow river.

Easy Food Pairings
-
Grilled sea-bass – fish plus fresh fruit notes = win.
-
Goat’s cheese salad – bright meets bright.
-
Apple crumble – echoes the fruit and vanilla.
Handy Tips
-
Water: Half-teaspoon lifts more pear, dulls the oak.
-
Ice: Fine on a hot day; it won’t murder the flavour.
-
Shelf-life: Light whiskies fade quicker—aim to finish within 9-10 months.
Bottle vs Full Set?
Singleton House Tully is a solid “entry” Speyside—great for folks who think peat is perfume gone wrong. On its own, priced fair.
Final Sip
Singleton Tully is like a cool swim in a quiet river—refreshing, sweet, no hidden currents. I’m landing at 7.3 / 10. Not a show-stopper, but a welcome palate cleanser between heavier drams.
