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.
It has a low profile Turkish/Bulgarian raki "nose" and "plate", that has medium anise flavor . . . its not naturally smoth or balanced its sharp and yeah naturally rich.You might like your nose in side the glass but the "plate" ? Orange zest spiciness cmon . . .its just anise . . . go drink raki in Turkey, u will enjoy it if you like this, Turks say "raki balik". Try it !!! This one just calls it in a cheaper way.
Outstanding
I drink only JW Black Label or Platinum label, I bought one bottle of Singleton when I was coming from USA, now I wish I could buy few more. Cheers, Singleton rocks on the rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!
Very smooth and easy to drink. With a good smoke.
Insane the good grades this whisky gets on the web. Is it the cheap price? Is someone hiring peolple to leave comments? I don't know. I don't understand why Glenfiddich gets so much heat for being to simple and little intense. Well Singleton is even less intense. Mind, it has a good taste profile. No faults, no moldy barrel, no glue aftertaste, no bitterness, not excedengly sweet, nicely fruite (apples, pears) but there is just so little of anything here. It's the first time I honestly think of the concept "watered down". Even so, perfect beginners dram but for people looking for something more well.. it falls short.
