A straightforward, nutty and malty single malt from Speyside, the Singleton of Dufftown was released to replace the Singleton of Auchroisk. It’s aged in a high proportion of European oak casks.
If you're looking to use this little stunner in a cocktail, then you could do a lot worse than making a classic Highball. Or how about a signature Singleton serve?
Reach for the Peach
45ml of The Singleton
30ml of peach iced tea
90ml of soda water
Optional: 2 dashes of absinthe
Build all ingredients in an ice-filled Highball glass, give it a good stir, and garnish with a twist of lemon zest.
Malty with cereal/barley sweetness, buttery toast, wood shavings, hay and walnut.
Orange zest spiciness perks up a malty core of nuts, oak and toffee, hints of cut grass.
Oaky, rich with good length, some fruit lingers.
Great taste and very smooth. Best whisky ever tasted in terms of single malt whisky. I would recommend every one who likes drinking whisky.
A straight forward whisky which delivers as promised, but no more. I prefer an Oban or the Glenmorangie because theres a lot more depth in the taste and aftertaste...
Yes, the tasting note by the chaps at Master of Malt is spot on when in come to nose and palate, but I'm not agree when it comes to the finish. The finish keeps oak, yes, but it's not rich with good length. The finish is most of all a sweet goodbye (and welcome back) from the toffee. Some fruits there, that's true. It's so smooth, or should it be a little more punchy..? Maybe it's not meant to be the punchy whisky. No, it's meant to be that smooth nutty toffee... For it's age, for it's price... Ok, I liked it. Over the average level.
I normally drink smoky whiskeys like Laphroaig but this was a really nice single malt.
Haah raki! I think that guy must have indulged in a bit too much honey bee grayanotoxin when he went to Turkey. Very smooth and comparable to the accomplished Glenlivet 12 in that price bracket
