Singleton Whisky

The Singleton isn't one distillery, but a concept - Diageo bottles the name from three different sites: Dufftown for Europe, Glendullan for the US and Glen Ord for Asia. The strategy was designed to give each market a tailored single malt without having to build three entirely new brands from scratch. It's an unusual solution in an industry that normally celebrates a single distillery's unique identity.

  • Singleton 12 Year Dufftown Single Malt bottle
    Item no.: 22227865438-18741

    Dufftown is called 'the whisky capital', with seven distilleries packed into a few kilometres. Singleton is the gentlest voice in that chorus.

    Expert's Description

    Singleton 12 Year Old Dufftown is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the Dufftown distillery in Speyside, bottled at 40% after 12 years of maturation.

    This release replaced the earlier Singleton of Auchroisk in Diageo's Singleton portfolio and is defined by a soft, rounded style with fine spice notes and a pleasant fullness.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Soft malt and ripe apples meet light spice notes and a touch of honey.

    Palate

    Round and lightly sweet with vanilla, pear and a hint of ginger.

    Finish

    Medium length and soft with lingering malt and a lightly spiced close.

    Diageo has once again sent its distillers into uncharted territory. 'Into the Blue' is Glen Ord's answer to the question: what happens when mezcal meets Highland malt?

About The Singleton

The Singleton is Diageo's global single malt concept, gathering whisky from three different distilleries - Dufftown, Glendullan and Glen Ord - under one name. For a newcomer, it's a light, accessible, reliable introduction to single malt; for the connoisseur, the strategy itself is interesting, showing how a global spirits company can tailor the same basic idea to three vastly different markets without confusing consumers about what they're actually buying.

History & Background

The name is used strategically for different markets - Glen Ord for Asia, Dufftown for Europe, and Glendullan for the US - all under the same umbrella brand.

Production & Style

The whisky is distilled in traditional pot stills and aged primarily in bourbon and sherry casks, with a focus on an approachable, smooth style.

Signature Style

Smooth, Fruity, Approachable
The flavor offers a smooth, fruity character that makes the series easily accessible for beginners.
