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.
Maybe I got a bad batch looking at other reviews, barely any character, just a sharp undesirable taste like a cheap bottom shelf single malt. The bottle design is quite stupid also as a full bottle falls over at the slightest nudge or table wobble.
I have difficulty believing this is a single malt. It has a rough edge but not Islay rough, more like a low-end whisky sort of rough. I like strong tastes like lagavulin 16 and laphroaig quarter cask but there had better be some smoothness to it. I get that some people might be buying this one because the price is right but if you wanted something nicer in a comparable range I would prefer a Nikka. It's not awful but I won't waste time and money with this one again.
One of the best I've tasted.
Es muy suave, nada de turba whisky para tomar dia a dia, el precio es muy bueno a mi esposa le encanta!!
My boyfriend cant love without it!
