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.
Dear reader, today on my 56 anniversary, I had the pleasure to taste for the very first time your 12 year old Singleton. I can tell you that I am overwelmd by the smooth and delicious taste of your single malt scotch.
Just bought this at a great price in Cape Town..on special at Makro..the equivalent of Cosco here. Settled down just now with my first sip. Lovely nose.. The European cask aging comes through ..with a lovely deep woody, sweet whiff. On the palate I thought this was really smooth, with a complex character that has to be appreciated ... I will definitely share this with guests very selfishly.
As a newcomer, it's easy to love this scotch. Soft, fresh, delicious.
Spotted this attractively packaged and priced little number whilst holidaying in Samoens, France. Instantly whisk(y)ed to the side of a wide Speyside river, old cane trout rod in hand, casting across with a Bloody Red Butcher. Like a searing steely rivet fresh hued into the side of my mouth...it burns. Soaring high as a Golden Eagle across Glenfeshie reaching peaks of rough hewn granite where crystal clear water starts its journey to the sea below. Time for a other dram wee Laddie......to be continued.
This whisky is very smooth and easy to drink. I went through the bottle much faster than expected!
