A perfectly balanced Single Malt Scotch Whisky created with a secret combination of two different cask types.
Their artisanal distillery is located in a little town called Dufftown, in the lush region of Speyside, Scotland, the heart of Scotch Whisky. They’ve been making Single Malt Scotch Whisky there since 1896. That’s plenty of time for them to master the art of crafting an impossibly smooth & balanced whisky.
Their secret is maturation in a perfect combination of European & American oak casks. These fine oak casks impart many layers of flavours to their whisky.
Their experienced Malt Master Craig Wilson has personally crafted this 15 year old Single Malt. With honey aromas, notes of fresh fruits & a dry finish make this a delightfully smooth whisky. Take a first sip and you’ll understand why The Singleton of Dufftown has won awards the world over.
Enjoy neat, with a drop of water or over ice (with friends).

How to Enjoy It
The Singleton 15 Year Old is wonderfully versatile. Sip it neat to fully appreciate the layered complexity that 15 years of maturation delivers. Add a few drops of still water to gently open up the floral and fruit notes. Or serve it over a single large ice cube for a slow, smooth pour that evolves beautifully as it chills. For a food pairing, it is sublime alongside dark chocolate, aged cheddar, or a handful of roasted walnuts.
